In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect Rick is joined by Maksim Suchkov, associate professor of political science at MGIMO – one of Russia’s top diplomatic universities. They discuss Vladimir Zelensky’s latest trip to the White House. The illegitimate Ukrainian leader brought along his ‘Seven Dwarfs’, as Rick puts it, to play interference and prevent disaster. Suchkov says the seven European leaders are looking to ‘Bidenize’ Donald Trump into supporting Ukraine’s war effort without question. But Rick’s guest doubts they have anything to offer. Washington has Europe on the hook when it comes to security, and the US president is eyeing increased co-operation with Russia. Rick and Maksim are left to wonder, did the EU’s ‘Fantastic Seven’ forget the lesson JD Vance gave them at the 2025 Munich Security Conference? The greatest threat Europe faces is not from China or Russia – it is from within. Don’t miss it – on RT International.
