Decoding Putin’s ‘obsessive ideas’ in the Tucker Carlson interview | Russia-Ukraine war News
In his first interview with a Western journalist in two years, Vladimir Putin told Tucker Carlson that ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would be “simple” – stop supplying weapons and negotiate with Russia. The former Fox News host, known for his controversial views on the Russia-Ukraine war, did not challenge Putin’s outlandish claims. Putin began the interview with a history lesson on Eastern Europe, reiterating a manipulative view on Kyivan Rus and suggesting Russia was the only legitimate successor. The interview has been viewed as a Kremlin public relations stunt, aimed at convincing average Russians that Putin’s war did not turn Russia into an international pariah. This comes as Republicans blocked a multibillion aid package for Ukraine.
