RT on Odysee

Germany’s Nord Stream investigation has finally produced charges against a Ukrainian national — but AfD member Gunnar Beck says the case may be far from solved.

Speaking to RT, Beck argues that one person could not have carried out the sabotage alone and claims the German government “knows more than it lets on.” He also reacts to Ursula von der Leyen’s claim that Russia “weaponized energy” and cut gas supplies to Europe, calling it “alternative history.”

On the latest episode of RT's 'Sanchez Effect,' Dr. Sakwa, an emeritus professor of politics at the University of Kent, breaks down the situation on the Ukrainian front. He explains how Russia's military has taken the city of Konstantinovka but still appears to be strategically patient.

The professor outlines Moscow's deliberate focus on infrastructure rather than civilian areas, noting that casualties have remained relatively low in comparison with how Israel has been waging its wars.

Also, Dr. Sakwa critiques the current diplomatic paralysis: no talks, and no real negotiators on the American side.

The result? Kiev attacks Moscow, and finally Moscow responds, with massive strikes on the Ukrainian capital – which we examine with videos, maps and analysis by RT correspondent Roman Kosarev.

Despite the gloom, the professor underscores the existence of unofficial, back-door dialogue. He argues that a ceasefire would be bad for Russia, yet a dignified peace for Ukraine might still emerge if all parties respect their mutual security needs. Want to know more?

Iran has condemned recent US attacks on its territory, accusing Washington of violating the ceasefire and using military bases across the Persian Gulf to launch or support operations against Tehran.

Speaking to RT, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, professor at the University of Tehran, says Gulf states hosting US bases cannot claim neutrality if attacks on Iran are carried out from their territory. He argues that Iran has so far shown restraint by targeting American bases rather than host-country infrastructure.

For the first time in 50 years, Congress has reopened hearings on MKUltra — the notorious CIA mind-control program linked to experiments on American citizens and foreign nationals.

RT producer Ignat Shipitsa, who wrote a book on MKUltra and is preparing its English release, says the hearings were deeply unsettling. According to him, the 90-minute session offered almost nothing new, failed to answer whether MKUltra still influences events in America today, and left the full scale of the CIA’s actions hidden.

Two unarmed drones breached the grounds of the Russian embassy in Stockholm overnight, according to the Russian mission in Sweden. One drone reportedly spilled red paint, while another crashed carrying what appeared to be an imitation explosive device.

RT speaks with Russian Ambassador to Sweden Sergey Belyaev, who says the incident was a “clear attempt to threaten Russian diplomats” and claims the embassy has faced more than 25 drone-related incidents over the past two years.

Economist and publisher Eike Hamer reacts to Germany bringing charges against a Ukrainian national over the Nord Stream sabotage, calling the move an attempt to use a “scapegoat” while protecting others who may have been involved.

Germany has brought charges against a Ukrainian national over the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, years after the explosions rocked Europe’s energy security.

Journalism professor Greg Simons joins RT to discuss why he believes the latest move looks like “scapegoating,” questioning whether one Ukrainian suspect could realistically account for such a complex operation. Simons also reacts to Ursula von der Leyen’s claim that Russia “turned off the gas for Europe,” arguing that the EU’s own policies and the Nord Stream sabotage tell a different story.

Project MKUltra was a dark time in history for the United States. The illegal, top-secret Central Intelligence Agency program was created during the Cold War. It was designed to study mind control, behavioral modification, and psychological torture. The problem? This was not done on enemies, it was done on Americans.
