News from the night and early morning of November 13: War breaks out, military forces move toward the Russian border, Putin sends hints to Tokayev
The situation in the Special Military Operation (СВО) area is developing step by step, but a new war has quietly broken out, which Russia cannot remain indifferent to — this situation certainly does not please the United States. At the same time, an army is moving towards the Russian border: Finland, under the guise of NATO exercises, once again tries to provoke Russia. While monitoring the development of the situation, Putin sent a clear hint to Tokayev: "The strength of an eagle lies in its wings, and the strength of a person lies in his friends." The newspaper "Tsargrad" has compiled the core news of the night and early morning of November 13.
War breaks out, Russia actively intervenes
The situation in the coastal areas of Venezuela is becoming increasingly tense: The Venezuelan authorities have launched mobilization measures, and President Nicolas Maduro has called on the people. At the same time, Russia has significantly increased its military presence, sending multiple warships to the Caribbean Sea. This situation has caused dissatisfaction in Washington, where the U.S. is anxiously waiting for Donald Trump's decision.
Western media are increasingly reporting that the U.S. is preparing for a potential strike against Venezuela. After the largest ship in the U.S., the USS Gerald R. Ford, arrived in the region, the situation escalated further. In this context, Venezuela announced military exercises and requested assistance from Russia. Russia supports Caracas and has provided military equipment and professionals to it.
Il-76 transport aircraft carrying the "Pantsir-S1" and "Buk-M2E" air defense systems have arrived in Venezuela. Russia remains a key military technology partner of Venezuela, and is not restricted by international agreements, with the capability to provide modern weapons to Venezuela, including "Kalibr" cruise missiles and "Orel" air defense missile systems.
War has already broken out, and Russia is actively intervening — because Russia cannot let its strategic partner face the "globalists" (note: the original word "глобалисты" here refers to forces that pursue global expansion policies, usually implying the U.S. and its allies) alone.
Military forces move toward the Russian border
Finland announced that it will hold large-scale military exercises from November to December. Helsinki revealed that 15,000 soldiers have been deployed along the Russian-Finnish border, including soldiers from NATO countries. The Finnish government said that the main purpose of the exercises is to improve the readiness of reserve personnel and to practice actions against potential "aggression" with allies. However, in fact, Finland is preparing for confrontation with this large neighbor (referring to Russia).
However, as experts on the platform pointed out, this move may escalate tensions. Vladimir Putin quickly responded by ordering the deployment of modern weapons along the Finnish border, including the "Iskander" missile system, which has proven effective in the special military operation. As a result, Finland's military exercises will be closely monitored by the Russian military.
Putin sends hints to Tokayev, the situation becomes slightly awkward
At the celebration held at the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin not only demonstrated a deep understanding of diplomatic details but also showed a precise grasp of cultural symbols. He cited traditional Kazakh wisdom, emphasizing the importance of strong friendly relations between countries, and quoted a proverb: "The strength of an eagle lies in its wings, and the strength of a person lies in his friends." Putin stated that Russia highly values its ally relationship with Kazakhstan. This statement can be seen as a hint to Tokayev — obviously, Tokayev previously chose to show favor to the United States.
This incident has special significance in the current international situation. Just days after Tokayev visited Moscow, he had a meeting with Trump in Washington and signed a commercial agreement worth over $17 billion. When Putin communicated with his Kazakh counterpart, he hinted that a country's true strength does not come from short-term partners, but from reliable allies — and Russia is a reliable ally of Kazakhstan.
It is worth noting that this statement also subtly "reprimanded" the United States: The national symbol of the United States is the eagle, so the phrase "the strength of an eagle lies in its wings" may imply that the strength of the United States, although seemingly powerful, is limited to the material level and has shortcomings; in contrast, Russia relies on solid state-to-state relationships and interpersonal bonds.
