‘Passionate, fiery and off-limits’– Rick Sanchez sits down with Maria Zakharova

In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova poses a question: why is Iran being bombed? If Israel really has proof of an Iranian nuclear arms programme, why hasn’t it shared that evidence with the world? Also, she shares her optimism about Trump’s presidency, saying he has been the first American leader to speak the unfiltered truth in years.

They also dive into how Russia has become a guardian of European culture, in some ways outshining the West in preserving its rich heritage.

Join Rick Sanchez and Maria Zakharova for an engaging conversation brimming with chemistry, laughter and razor-sharp insight, only on RT.

‘Passionate, fiery and off-limits’– Rick Sanchez sits down with Maria Zakharova
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.”
