The move follows Moscow’s domestic political tensions and Finland’s sizable Russian-speaking population, with protests having occurred outside the mission in 2024 and amid Russia’s exclusion of the Yabloko party from this year’s vote.

U.S. Flag Returns to Caracas Embassy as Diplomatic Ties Inch Forward

The American flag was raised Saturday over the U.S. Embassy in Caracas for the first time since 2019, signaling a shift in U.S.–Venezuela relations as negotiations and diplomatic ties continue after Maduro’s ouster and amid support from U.S. leaders for his successor, Acting President Delcy Rodríguez. The embassy, now housing the Venezuela Affairs Unit, remains under renovation and a full reopening date is unclear. Residents welcomed the gesture, but many Venezuelans remain skeptical of U.S. influence and Trump-era moves, while the broader political establishment remains divided over the change.
