Tim Kirby Russia Hardcore: How the War in Ukraine is Really Being Fought

This past week our buddy Tim Kirby the Most Russian American hosted Zinderneuf from the highly respected Telegram channel covering Russia's Special Military Operation (SMO) versus Ukraine and NATO, @EastCalling. In the interview, Zinderneuf describes how as a Florida-based U.S. resident he worked with the Slavyangrad Telegram channel, until he decided to start his own TG platform, and how he has worked with the Russian war correspondent Marat Khairullin on the English translation of Marat's upcoming book about covering the frontlines of the SMO and the soldiers Marat has met along the way.

Zinderneuf also has repeatedly interviewed former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter and reserve Russian Army Colonel Vladimir Trukhan, as well as Oleg Shalandin, Alexander Belyayev and the team's highly knowledgeable translator, Jelena. In addition to Marat's battlefield commentary and interviews with frontline fighters, @EastCalling also has excellent coverage of the economics driving the late Globalist American Empire (GAE)'s hard power calculations around the world.
