In this episode of RT's 'Sanchez Effect,' Rick runs through the massive revelations that Zelensky's former spokeswoman, Yulia Mendel, disclosed to Tucker Carlson. Almost every so-called conspiracy is said to be true. Mendel concedes that Zelensky's drug use is an open secret. She insists that he pretends to be a teddy bear but, in fact, is an evil destroying his own people. The show's second big topic was the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and India's position on the conflict. Rick sits down with RT India news chief Runjhun Sharma to figure out what exactly is going on as the leadership of the world's most populous country tells its people to consume less gasoline amid an energy crisis. Runjhun says India heavily relies on imports – 90% of Indian energy comes from abroad. That's why, she explains, India has never rejected Russian supplies. Runjhun says India is about to host a BRICS meeting with participation by the UAE and Iran – a perfect platform to fix problems. Runjhun also recently interviewed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and she brings some insights about this to Rick's show. It's all here on RT International – and BitChute at RICKSANCHEZTV!

Hantavirus is in the headlines. A cruise ship. Three dead. Feels like the start of a movie — or a new pandemic.

But let’s stop the panic.

Hantavirus is NOT COVID. It doesn’t spread easily person-to-person. The real culprit? Rodents — urine, droppings, saliva.

Yes, it can kill. That’s serious. But a COVID-like nightmare? No.
