Will Putin replicate Trump's 'Venezuela plan' in Ukraine? 5 reasons why it would be 'impossible' for Russia

News Topical, Digital Desk : The US attack on Venezuela has sent shockwaves across the world. This is the first time the US military has entered a country's capital, arrested a sitting president, and brought him back home. The US does not consider this an act of war. In the US's eyes, Maduro is simply a criminal who will be tried in a US court.

But the question is, if Putin follows Trump's lead on Ukraine, will he succeed? According to many political analysts, this task will not be easy for Putin. Let's find out why.

It's not easy to penetrate Kiev.

Ukraine has been engulfed in war for the past three years. Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, is constantly on alert. Western countries frequently share intelligence with Ukraine. Meanwhile, Zelensky's residence in Kyiv is an impregnable fortress, surrounded by troops and missiles.

Fear of getting trapped in Kyiv's maze

Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, is far from Russian territory, requiring a large traverse of Ukraine to reach it. Even if Russian ships managed to reach Kyiv, their escape would be difficult. NATO surveillance, in particular, would be immediately alerted, forcing Russia to return empty-handed.

Nothing will change after Zelensky

Even if the Russian army overcomes all the difficulties and reaches Zelensky and arrests him, the likelihood of a political crisis like the one in Venezuela erupting in Ukraine is slim. At such a time, the Ukrainian army could take over, and Russia could face the wrath of a large number of people.

Zelensky receives global support

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro lacked global support, but the opposite is true for Zelensky. Any major move by Russia against Ukraine could suddenly align all Western countries with Zelensky. Ukraine could easily receive funding and all kinds of assistance, including weapons, from Western countries.

3 conditions must be met

The US needed to meet three key conditions for Maduro's arrest: a surprise attack, Maduro's low popularity, and a political vacuum in Venezuela. Ukraine is strong on all three fronts.
