Tucker Carlson’s much-anticipated interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which aired in February 2024, was a detailed and lengthy discussion that spanned over two hours. This interview marked the first time Putin sat down with a Western media figure since the start of the Ukraine invasion.
During the conversation, Carlson and Putin discussed a wide range of topics, including the historical context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO’s expansion, and the controversial Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Putin provided his perspective on the origins of the war, tracing it back to historical grievances and the geopolitical maneuvering of Western powers. The interview also touched on more current events, such as the detention of American journalist Evan Gershkovich, with Putin defending the arrest by accusing Gershkovich of espionage, though these claims were made without providing evidence.
This interview has generated significant attention and debate, not only for its content but also for Carlson’s approach, which some critics argue was overly deferential to Putin. The interview reflects Carlson’s ongoing critique of U.S. foreign policy, particularly in relation to Ukraine and Russia.
