Kremlin-controlled media corrected a mistake that Vladimir Putin made about World War II in his interview with Tucker Carlson.
Interjections by the former Fox News anchor during his interview released on Thursday were also cut, it was reported, and a version viewed online omitted a controversial segment in which the Russian president spoke about Adolf Hitler.
The fallout from the interview continues as the American anchor faced criticism that he did little to challenge the Russian president, especially during monologues about Russian history that he used to justify his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In one part of the interview, Putin made a factual error in describing an alleged encounter with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, when according to the Kremlin website, Carlson asked him about whether the Ukrainian president had "the freedom to negotiate a resolution to this conflict."
Putin replied: "It's difficult for me to judge" and he said that Zelensky's "father fought against the fascists, the Nazis, during World War II."

Zelensky's father, Oleksandr was not born until 1947, two years after the war ended, although his father—the Ukrainian president's grandfather, Semyon, did fight, investigative Russian language outlet Agentstvo noted.

Russian media platform RTVI said that some of Carlson's questions were also cut from the Kremlin website, such as when the American presenter followed Putin's speech about a millennium of history with "I'm not sure it's relevant."
A version of the interview that was widely seen online on OTC Live, a Russian YouTube channel, omitted Putin's response to a question about Poland and Ukraine that mentioned Adolf Hitler.

Interview over. I hope you are over soon too.
‘De Minimus’ posts yet another article from that font of truthfulness and reliability…. Newsweak.
I’m glad putin is being fact checked.
He’s another FJB making up stuff to suit his agenda.
Tell Tucker that Poland didn’t start World War 2.
Typical Democrat playbook. Lie then edit the transcripts afterwards.
Russian media edited the interview to suit/favor the Putin regime. I’m shocked! Our corporate news would never edit their footage to satisfy a narrative. /s
“Putin” said it to Tucker in the interview. And now the Kremlin is deleting the statements about Poland from the transcripts.
Tucker got punked.
‘Scramble’ lol yea right
“Brendan Cole” LOL!
Putin was right about Biden destroying the Dollar which will hurt America and the entire world.

My understanding is Carlson promised an unedited presentation of the video. Has anyone challenged what was on Carlson’s website?
Father vs grandfather fighting in WWII doesn’t seem a horrible error.
The only thing people need to understand about WW II in Europe was the war was over February 1942 when the German 6th Army’s 400,000 plus hundreds of thousands of Hungarian, Romanian and Italian troops surrendered at Stalingrad. The magnitude of that personnel loss could never be overcome by countries with the size population that they had at that time.
The US and UK and French forces thereafter never faced a remaining force of significant magnitude.
