Tucker Carlson Makes Historical Announcement
Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative journalist, revealed on Wednesday that he has successfully arranged an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a meeting that has been eagerly awaited.
“Looks like we’ve got the Zelenskyy interview. We’ve been trying for two years, and with particular intensity after interviewing Putin in February,” Carlson shared in a post on X.
“The point is to bring Americans much-needed information about the conflict that’s completely reshaping their country’s position in the world. Coming soon we hope.”
Earlier this year, Carlson conducted a significant interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. During this discussion, they touched on various topics, including U.S.-Russia relations and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Putin provided an extensive overview of Russia’s historical context, speaking for about an hour.
“Two years into a war that’s reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed… But they should know,” Carlson said while announcing the Zelensky interview.
“They are fawning pep sessions specifically designed to amplify Zelensky’s demand that the U.S. enter more deeply into a war in Eastern Europe and pay for it. That is not journalism. It is government propaganda. Propaganda of the ugliest kind, the kind that kills people.”
Carlson has frequently voiced his intention to interview Zelensky to get his viewpoint on the conflict.
“I heard some messages in media, and, also, my guys who are advisers, they said. So I don’t have to do — I don’t have time to hear more than two hours of bull**it about us, about the world, about the United States, about our relations, and this interview with a killer. So I have got some briefly what were there,” Zelensky commented shortly after Carlson’s interview with Putin.
Despite the Ukrainian government often showing hostility towards Carlson and Americans who criticize the significant financial support for Ukraine, Zelensky appears committed to finally granting the long-anticipated interview.
