‘This war has always been about money – not people – for the elites, and only the US has openly admitted that’ – Denis Pushilin

On today’s Sanchez Effect, the head of Russia’s Donetsk Republic, Denis Pushilin, explains that while most Western leaders preach about ‘justice’, the driving force behind the Ukraine conflict remains corporate profit. He breaks down the inner workings of European politics, the economic fallout in Germany, and how continuous Western arms supplies shape the front lines.

But the biggest story is happening on the ground – despite the ongoing hostilities, deep rebuilding is already underway. From restoring schools to drafting a massive economic strategy through 2042, discover how the region is actively shaping a post-war future in a world that will never be the same.

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.”
