These restrictions, affecting residential areas and businesses, are mandated by Moscow and will remain in place “until the end of the war against Ukraine”. While the government emphasizes these are permanent security measures, residents are encouraged to utilize available public Wi-Fi hotspots and a “white list” of accessible online services.

This deployment, along with other U.S. warships, a submarine, and aircraft, represents a significant military buildup, purportedly aimed at combating drug trafficking. In response, the Venezuelan government has also mobilized its military, viewing the U.S. presence as a major threat and accusing the U.S. of fabricating a new war. Meanwhile, regional leaders have responded cautiously, with a summit declaration rejecting the use of force, though some nations, like Venezuela, are holding a firm line against the U.S. presence.
