American TV host and blogger Tucker Carlson, who recorded an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin in February, has announced an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This was reported by Radiosvoboda.
It seems that we have received an interview with Zelenskyy. Our attempts lasted two years, and especially intensified after the interview with Putin in February. The point is to provide Americans with much-needed information about a conflict that is completely changing their country’s position in the world. Hopefully, (the interview – ed.) will be released soon, – Carlson wrote on the social network X.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office has not yet commented on this information.
Who is Tucker Carlson?
Tucker Carlson is a former host and commentator for the American TV channel Fox News, who, after being fired from there, began to host his own broadcasts on the X platform and on his website.
Carlson is known for his inflammatory rhetoric and spreading conspiracy theories.
The host was fired from Fox News last year amid scandals and lawsuits over allegations of election fraud.
Carlson is constantly quoted by the Kremlin media and accused by the Ukrainian authorities of manipulation.
After the Russians blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant in June 2023, Tucker Carlson said that Ukraine was to blame. He published a 10-minute video in which he said that it was the Ukrainian military that blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam, but did not provide evidence.
An interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin was aired on the night of February 9. It was Putin’s first interview with a Western media outlet since the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine almost two years ago. In it, Putin, in particular, tried to promote the thesis that by attacking Ukraine, Russia wanted to stop the war.
