Don't mess with president Trump — the US warned Putin in Russian
The U.S. State Department released a photo of Donald Trump observing the operation in Venezuela. Interestingly, the caption was translated into Russian so that the Kremlin would immediately understand the president's position and his attitude toward Moscow.
The photo is available on the U.S. State Department's official Russian-language account on X.

Interestingly, the U.S. State Department's international account has a similar photo that simply says, "THIS IS OUR HEMISPHERE" — meaning North and South America.
This is OUR Hemisphere, and President Trump will not allow our security to be threatened. pic.twitter.com/SXvI868d4Z

A striking image accompanied both messages. The photo shows the White House leader personally monitoring the progress of the "Midnight Hammer" military operation, which ended Maduro's rule.
