‘Ukraine used to be independent and sovereign, now it’s a puppet state.’ – Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov

In the latest episode of RT's Sanchez Effect, a former Kiev official pulls back the curtain on the warmongering directives Zelensky received upon taking office. He paints a bleak picture of the Ukrainian leader's future, hinting that Washington is poised to remove him as he's become the main barrier to peace.

Rick Sanchez also dives into an intriguing report from Candace Owens, revealing that Trump himself asked her to cease coverage of rumors regarding Macron’s wife being transgender in return for facilitating peace between Moscow and Kiev.

‘Ukraine used to be independent and sovereign, now it’s a puppet state.’ – Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov
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.”
