With Tucker Carlson: Interview with Putin will air at midnight

Vladimir Putin no longer gives interviews to critical Western media. He made an exception for right-wing and Russia-friendly moderator Tucker Carlson.

The interview of US controversial right-wing presenter Tucker Carlson (54) with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be broadcast on Thursday.

The former star host of conservative US news channel Fox News wrote on online platform Instagram on Wednesday that the recorded interview will be published on her website at 6pm (US Eastern Time; midnight on Friday Swiss time). This is Putin’s first interview with a Western journalist since Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine began almost two years ago.

Putin will be able to repeat his propaganda

Carlson is known for his strident right-wing positions, the spread of conspiracy theories, his closeness to former US President Donald Trump, and his extremely Russia-friendly and critical of Kiev stance on the Ukraine war. He has repeatedly criticized US aid to Ukraine. Therefore, it is feared that Carlson will provide Putin with a platform to spread propaganda.

The United States has been Kiev’s main supporter since February 24, 2022, when Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine began. But opposition Republicans in Congress have been blocking the release of new military aid for months.

For years, Tucker Carlson was one of the most recognizable faces on Fox News, amassing a large following among right-wing television viewers. He was fired last April after Fox News was forced to reach an expensive settlement with a voting machine company in a dispute over false claims of voter fraud following the 2020 presidential election.

Carlson has since posted interviews on the online platform X (formerly Twitter), which has been viewed millions of times. Trump was also among the interview guests.
