The Ukrainian government has hit back at Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host said a "fair person would conclude" Kyiv blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine, which collapsed on Tuesday causing widespread flooding.
Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security (CSCIS), a government agency, hit back at Carlson in a Twitter thread on Thursday.
The body posted a screenshot from Carlson's former Fox News show, edited to include a photo of Vladimir Putin and the strapline "agent of Putin."
They added the clown face emoji, then said: "Tucker Carlson, a TV presenter who was fired from Fox News, 'explains' why Ukraine blew up the Kakhovka HPP. Let's break down his arguments."
The CSCIS also accused Carlson of using edited video of Lindsey Graham's meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, which appeared to show the South Carolina senator saying: "This is the best thing we've ever spent money on," immediately after saying "Russians are dying."

For people that are convinced by reason it is on the face of it quite stupid. And yet it does have power of those who live in the world of virtue signaling rather than virtue.
That’s not my take. He said the retired “whistleblower?” makes a convincing argument and he calls for more information and investigation. At least that was my impression/what I recall. I have about zero interest in UFOs, but understand as another Freeper wrote yesterday, “it’s bread and circuses”. That’s red meat to some people and if they hear the other things Tucker says, it’s a good thing. At least they are not sitting around watching Ancient Aliens on the History Channel while watching Tucker.
What a stupid take on what’s happening. Also: “soviets” lol, ok grandma.
Wrong...he didn’t say he believed it. He was just mentioning the fact that no one was talking about it because there are only certain topics and narratives allowed by the deep state. Prove to me where he said he believes it.
Do you know what an Anachronism is?
At this point it is another sad chapter in a senseless war of the elites and it makes no difference. The Ukrainians are shelling civilians, Russia is shelling civilians, and Lindsey Graham is waving pompoms. I am not happy about any of that.
The animosity will last for generations on both sides making future conflicts in the region more likely - especially if the most corrupt nation on Earth joins NATO. Let that sink in, the Ukrainian leadership (assuming they prevail or survive) will have the ability to draw us into the next conflict with Russia.
Before it is over I bet my kids will be on the hook for about 400 billion or more and only pennies on the dollar will even reach the Ukrainian people by the time our politicians and theirs are finished.
That’s not what he said making you either ignorant of the facts or a liar.
Sorry for my sarcasm, but I contend it reduces Carlson as a serious reporter to Art Bell status.
Go LAUNDER OUR MONEY and SELL ALL the MILITARY EQUIPMENT to our OTHER ENEMIES!
Check your blood pressure and take your meds now.
“Do you know what an Anachronism is?”
Yes. A pro-Russian tool pretending to claim the mantle of a Polish hero.
In a video posted yesterday the mercenary commander Prigozhin several times referred to his country as the USSR.
I am respecting his preferred name for his country.

Haha..
Point of the day!!!
So, in other words, the same strategy as our very own Adam Schiff. Liz Cheney. "You ain't black" Biden and the whole RussiaGate crowd with VIndman the Ukrainian American as cheerleader and witness.
One may extend the notion to some of the graphics placed into Freeper threads which are intended to be "memes." Photoshop, and call it reality. It's what's for dinner in the Democrats' cantina and on the menu at the Myrotvorets Delicatessen.
Putin started this war with a cowardly sneak attack in 2014 (”Little Green Men”) and followed it up with yet another cowardly sneak attack last year (”just an exercise”).
This is mostly concerned with Putin wanting control of the oil and gas resources that Ukraine was beginning to explore.
In any case, the war is going poorly for Putin. It’s dragged on for over a year, the promises of Chinese and North Korean troops to help him out have never materialized, and Ukraine is building a military while Russia is degrading theirs.
Not to mention the fact that Ukraine now occupies Russian soil and is steadily advancing on Belgorod.
As to the cost of ensuring the sovereignty of Ukraine it is far cheaper than the cost of waging a second Cold War against a resurgent Soviet or Imperial Russia.
I think Tucker was correct about Ukraine being responsible for blowing up that dam. General Milley was quoted the other day prior to the dam being blown up that the Ukraine army would crumble in 72 hours as all of their defensive positions had been breached. Zelensky was forced to blow up that dam to slow the progression of Russian troops.
I hope that Ukraine defeats the Russians, but if the Ukrainian government attacks major U.S. media they should not get U.S. aid.
Fine to push back, but not to mock or disparage. They need to fire those responsible.
Since when is stating a simple fact worthy of needing medication.
Your comment was misrepresented and inaccurate. Either you truly did not know the truth (ignorance) or you intentionally mischaracterized the comment (lied).
There is not a viable third option. Now if you find that statement unbalanced, perhaps you are the one in need of “medication”.
I believe it’s because he is a closet gay and will never have kids, so he has no idea of their immense worth. To him, they are cannon fidder for his neocon dreams (nightmares) F#$K Lindsay Graham
