Kremlin did not reveal further details about the interview nor the release date however, TASS news agency reported that it is to be aired on Thursday.

While responding to a question of being favourable towards Russia, a Kremlin spokesperson said that Tucker Carlson was neither pro-Russian nor pro-Ukrainian but pro-American.

Carlson had been vocal about the Western media’s approach toward the all-out support against Russia to Ukraine in which there is a full-fledged military operation ongoing by Moscow against Kyiv.

The spokesperson noted that the approach of the 56-year-old journalist was completely different from the rest of the Western media who are all “one-sided” in “Ukraine’s favour”.

“We are not encouraging you to agree with what Putin may say in this interview,” Tucker Carlson announced in a video on X, adding that “most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine or what his goals are now.”

“These are all media outlets that take an exceptionally one-sided position. Of course, there is no desire to communicate with such media, and ithttps://www.wzsou.com/ hardly makes sense, and it is unlikely that it will be useful.”

“You’ve never heard his voice. That’s wrong. Americans have a right to know all we can about a war they’re implicated in, and we have the right to tell them about it,” CarlsWZSou PopularPulseon said in a video message Tuesday.

“Western governments by contrast will certainly do their best to censor this video. They are afraid of information they can’t control.”
