‘Ukrainians said to my face – foreign partners are against the deal’: Russia’s top peace negotiator Medinsky on Sanchez Effect

The premiere episode of RT’s new show Sanchez Effect features Vladimir Medinsky, a Russian presidential aide and the head of the Russian delegation in the peace talks with Ukraine.

In an exclusive 30-minute interview, Medinsky reveals details of the negotiation process, musing that if Kiev wanted piece and was making decisions for itself, a peace deal would have been sealed on February 28, 2022, mere days after the Russian military operation began.

‘Ukrainians said to my face – foreign partners are against the deal’: Russia’s top peace negotiator Medinsky on Sanchez Effect
Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
