‘Ukraine is a major moneymaking operation for the West’ – Christopher Helali

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect Rick talks to the international secretary of the American Communist Party, Christopher Helali, who EXCLUSIVELY visited Ukrainian Prisoners of War to find out their conditions. Helali says they are in good shape, Russian soldiers take care of them in good faith and they are even living in some kind of barracks instead of prisons, that is the thing that shocked him and Rick most. The American communist tells Mr. Sanchez that many of the soldiers had been mobilised and the first thing they did in contact battle – was try to surrender. On the recent outrageous corruption scandal that includes people close to Zelensky, Helali says the leader of the Kiev regime is definitely involved in the scheme despite all vows to prosecute those who were accused of corruption. Christopher thinks that the arrests in Ukraine are the result of Western disappointment with Zelensky, but he may still stay in power as the main goal of the West is to prolong the conflict against Russia. And if Zelensky is ready to pay the price with Ukrainian lives, the West is fine with paying some bucks. Watch all this and more – on RT International.

‘Ukraine is a major moneymaking operation for the West’ – Christopher Helali
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.”
