Digital Desk, New Delhi. There is panic in the world after the American attack on Venezuela. This is the first time that the US Army entered the capital of a country, arrested the sitting President and brought him back to his country. America does not consider it an 'act of war'. In the eyes of America, Maduro is just a criminal, who will be tried in American court.
But, the question is that if Putin also plays Trump's gamble on Ukraine, will he be successful? According to many political analysts, this task will not be easy for Putin. Let us know why?
Kiev is not easy to penetrate
Ukraine has been in the grip of war for the last 3 years. Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is always on alert. Western countries often share intelligence with Ukraine. At the same time, the place where Zelensky lives in Kiev is an impenetrable fortress in itself, surrounded by soldiers and missiles.

Fear of getting trapped in Kyiv's maze
Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is far away from Russian soil, to reach which one will have to pass through a large part of Ukraine. In such a situation, even if Russian ships reach Kiev, it will be difficult for them to escape from there. Especially the surveillance of NATO countries will be alerted immediately, due to which Russia may have to return from Ukraine empty handed.
Nothing will change even after Zelensky
Even if, overcoming all the difficulties, the Russian army reaches Zelensky and arrests him, the possibility of a political crisis in Ukraine like in Venezuela is negligible. At such a time, Ukraine's army may take charge and Russia may have to face the anger of a large number of people.

Global support for Zelensky
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro did not get the support of many countries globally, but the opposite is true with Zelensky. Any major move by Russia against Ukraine could put all Western countries on the side of Zelensky in one fell swoop. Ukraine can easily get money and all facilities including weapons from Western countries.
3 conditions must be fulfilled
For Maduro's arrest, the US had to meet three major conditions - a sudden attack, Maduro's low popularity and political vacuum in Venezuela. Ukraine is strong on all three fronts.
