Notorious former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin – the reason for his visit to Moscow – and said he has requested an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Source: an announcement by Carlson and video message on tuckercarlson.com; Newsweek

Quote: "We’re in Moscow tonight. We’re here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We’ll be doing that soon."

Details: Carlson said he had been preparing for the interview with Putin for several months.

The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).

The only way this might be worth Zelenskyy‘s time is if he silently beats Carlson to a bloody pulp.

The man has REAL problems to deal with. He doesn’t need to be “interviewed” by some fascist bootlicker.

Maybe Zelenskyy could just toss him in a POW camp.

He doesn’t deserve such nice accommodations. Traitors go to B9.

If I were Zelensky, I'd only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.

And then I'd still do the interview over Zoom.

I like your thinking but I would send him to the front lines instead to interview the commanders in the trenches and make him see what Russia is really doing up close and personal.

Ooh I like that! You don't even need to tell him beforehand, just put him in a tent with a laptop for a 30 second zoom call Zelensky says Tata, I have to go. But if you really want to learn about the war interview my troops. Then just leave him for a day

You know Tucker will whine about it endlessly if he can't get an interview. And also if he can.

I would bet that Fucker Carlson didn't actually ask for an interview with Zelensky, but just says he did so he can get "denied" and have a rant about who the real nazis are...
