The prospect of a US attack on Venezuela is being postponed. Donald Trump chose a different option. Summary of the night
The US will increase pressure on Maduro
As reported by Reuters, the Washington administration has ordered the US armed forces to focus almost exclusively on enforcing the blockade of Venezuelan oil for at least two months, which is expected to “ruin” the local economy. This statement indicates that the prospect of a ground attack by US forces on Venezuela, which Donald Trump has repeatedly mentioned, may be postponed.
At night, drones appeared in the port of Tiemryuk in the Krasnodar Krai in Russia. The oil tanks caught fire, and then the fire spread to an area of approximately 2,000 square meters. The mayor of Moscow also said that eight drones in the Russian capital were also to be destroyed.

More documents discovered
The United States authorities announced that they had found over a million new documents that may be related to the case of financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. They are planned to be gradually declassified in the near future. So far, thousands of files have been disclosed, but – according to some commentators – they are not groundbreaking.
What will happen today
Today the Catholic Church celebrates the Nativity of the Lord, one of the most important holidays of the year – next to Easter. On Christmas Day, Pope Leo XIV will celebrate at at 10 a.m. mass in St. Peter's Basilica, and at noon from its balcony he will deliver the Christmas message and give the Urbi et Orbi blessing. In the afternoon, due to the approaching end of the Holy Year, the closing ceremony of the Holy Door will take place in the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome.
