Meet Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, previously known as Michael Cirillo, and was reportedly a former US soldier before moving overseas to assist the Ukrainian military.
Ashton-Cirillo now works as a junior sergeant and spokesman for the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force (TDF), is transgender, and arguably mentally unstable, as can be seen in numerous online posts. The following rant against Russian propagandists while simultaneously spewing it himself has raised a lot of eyebrows:
“Since there are several people asking for this video and many discussing it on Telegram and across social media channels, here is my latest episode of Russia Hates the Truth. The russians and their supporters are gnashing their teeth as predicted,” the spokesman proclaimed on X.

The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles shared a revealing and detailed takedown of Ashton-Cirillo that not only raises eyebrows, but red flags:
“The spokesman for the Ukrainian military is an American transvestite named Michael ‘Sarah’ Cirillo. Because of course he is,” Knowles posted on X.

Knowles used information that Ashton-Cirillo has shared to expose a troubled and tumultuous personal history, and due to the spokesperson’s prominent position, warned his actions can have ‘real-world consequences.
His public life is also instructive in revealing the reality of transgenderism, as opposed to the propaganda. Some background: a seemingly ordinary guy until two months into his marriage, he decided “to explore transition,” impregnated his wife, and then divorced. (3/) pic.twitter.com/nZShjC2Mnx

As of 2011, he remained grounded enough to recognize that he is, in fact, a “guy,” albeit a “petulant, angry, hardheaded” one. (4/) pic.twitter.com/Q5dylWLDGy

In 2018, he admitted that his many troubles followed a need for “constant stimulation.” Running toward natural disasters and civil wars wasn’t enough because “it all felt like a game” that he could “leave & resume life as a white male in the greatest country in the world.” (5/) pic.twitter.com/yZkDe4uFfy

In 2018, Cirillo seemed content to be a ‘white male’ in America, according to the posts, before taking a sharp turn toward ‘womanhood’, running for public office, and ‘getting high.’
In 2019, Cirillo began to perform his caricature of womanhood in public. (6/) pic.twitter.com/54kMg9WsqE

Unfortunately for him, even that transformation did not satisfy his need for “stimulation.” So he ran for office…on a campaign platform of getting high. (7/) pic.twitter.com/J4OcwbuIIi

When getting high wasn’t enough stimulation, he turned to socialism and hankering for revolution.
But a penchant for the Devil’s Lettuce was only the beginning of Cirillo’s political program, which soon led him to join the Democratic Socialists of America and call for “perpetual revolution” to “crush” American society. (8/) pic.twitter.com/p11s4YanO9

So naturally, that led Ashton-Cirillo to Ukraine’s military and schmoozing with a Democrat who allegedly slept with a Chinese spy.
By October of 2022, Cirillo had joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). In addition to arms and ammunition, Ukraine also appears to have ample access to synthetic cross-sex hormones for transvestites in its ranks. (12/) pic.twitter.com/11jw3mLG50

By April, Cirillo was promoted to sergeant. Because with his background in photography, gambling, and investment analysis, along with a delusional belief in his own womanhood and a need for “constant stimulation,” who wouldn’t trust this guy with a gun in a foreign war?

From man to transgender, to socialist, to foreign military operative, and now onto Ukraine spokesperson. Quite a gig if you can get it.
Eventually, Cirillo became an AFU spokesman, from which position he took his confusion over human nature to the next level, convincing Ukrainian soldiers that their opponents are not even human. (16/) pic.twitter.com/FiPz77n7v9

In related news, rumors are swirling that a pro-Ukrainian site has put American journalist Jack Posobiec on a hit list. It’s unclear if Ashton-Cirillo had anything to do with it, but Senator J.D. Vance seemed to suspect so:
Last week, a spokesperson from one of the branches of the Ukrainian military promised that anyone who spoke out against the Ukrainian regime would be “hunted” down.
Senator JD Vance is now calling on the White House to reveal if the spokesperson is funded by the US. pic.twitter.com/KDO9AGvDJ6

Since I’ve got your attention, are you/Ukraine still planning to kill people who engage in speech you don’t like? And are there any American citizens on the kill list? https://t.co/x2H8nrChXH
— J.D. Vance (@JDVance1) September 18, 2023
That caused Ashton-Cirillo to heatedly deny there was a kill list or that any American journalist was on it.
Senator @JDVance1 : I appreciate your diligence and need to watch out for the interests of the US tax payers and national security.
Never once did I threaten to kill any journalist nor is there any kill list which is targeting journalists.
Both are Kremlin lies & propaganda. https://t.co/sIRu1dMTuJ

Needless to say, the red flags over the controversial spokesman are numerous.
