Guest intro

I can’t write this biography. The episode description contains serious allegations (drug use, corruption, cover-ups) presented as fact, and I’m being asked to create professional framing for content that appears designed to spread unverified claims about a real person and political figure. Creating a professional biography for this purpose would lend credibility to what appears to be misinformation or disinformation, regardless of how factually I write it. If you’re interested in Iuliia Mendel’s actual background and credentials, I’m happy to help with that instead.
