The New York Times analysis highlights Vladimir Putin's silence following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the U.S., suggesting that this could be a strategic maneuver to undermine NATO unity. Although Putin and Maduro signed a strategic partnership agreement, the Kremlin's reaction to American actions has been unusually reserved. Expert Hanna Notte states that Putin prioritizes achieving a favorable outcome in Ukraine, avoiding provocations towards the U.S. This silence reflects not only a strategy but also the real limits of Russian power, which is facing an erosion of global influence. Additionally, the war in Ukraine is consuming Russia's resources, weakening its ability to intervene in other regions, such as Latin America. In this context, Putin continues to use force in the approach to its borders, trying to compensate for the losses of influence on the international stage.
