In the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ program, Rick Sanchez welcomed Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

The current situation at the United Nations reflects a crisis in international relations. Nebenzia stated that the UN has “no magic pill” for global crises and highlighted the declining respect for UN Security Council resolutions in recent years.
When discussing Ukraine, Nebenzia asserted that President Zelensky is politically dead, while stressing that the West is using Kiev as a tool in its confrontation with Russia. He also noted that the forced mobilization in Ukraine only turns its citizens into cannon fodder.

Nebenzia criticized NATO for expanding and pointed out that the EU has lost political influence and is facing a leadership crisis.

Rick Sanchez is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist who joined RT after leaving the US media over censorship concerns. He now lives in Moscow and continues to challenge Western propaganda.

This documentary tells the story of Kursk Region residents who endured terrifying months of occupation by Ukrainian fascists. It tells the stories of partisan heroes who stayed true to their officer’s oath, of brave elderly residents who held on until liberation, and of the crimes being committed by Ukrainian nationalists today – firing on evacuation teams, civilians, and journalists.

Filmmaker and RT.Doc director Olga Kiriy witnessed it all firsthand, along with cameraman Artem Merkushev. They joined an evacuation team traveling to Sudzha and nearby villages, hoping to find survivors among the ruins. Unique footage of those rescue operations forms the core of the documentary 'Sudzha. We survived' – a direct, visual record of the genocide and war crimes perpetrated by the Kiev regime.
