Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has revealed on Tuesday why Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to be interviewed by the former Fox host.
Tucker Carlson maintains a position that differs from that of other Western journalists, according to Peskov. “His stance is by no means pro-Russian and it is not pro-Ukrainian – rather, it is pro-American,” the spokesman said. “But at least it differs from the stance of all these traditional Anglo-Saxon media.”
While Peskov did confirm that Carlson interviewed Putin during a personal meeting on Tuesday, he refrained from providing any further details about the interview. “After all, it was his [Carlson’s] interview, so let him share all the details when he is ready to publish it,” Peskov remarked.
He also declined to disclose the details about any safety and security measures that might have been taken during the meeting between Putin and Carlson.
Meanwhile, several Western journalists have lamented the fact that Putin only agreed to be interviewed by Tucker Carlson.
“We’ve lodged several requests with the Kremlin in the last 18 months. Always a ‘no’ for us,” BBC’s Steve Rosenberg wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), disputing Carlson’s previous claim that “no Western journalist has bothered to interview" the Russian leader. CNN’s Christiane Amanpour also claimed that her network sought an interview with Putin since the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict in February 2022.

I don’t trust Putin or anything he said to Carlson.
But, the fact that the enemedia and leftist politicians are upset about the interview is enjoyable.
TC is the new real face of journalism.
I don’t trust any politician, Russian or American.
Vladimir Putin is more trustworthy than Joe Biden and at least 90% of the people in leadership positions of the U.S. government.
So says Sputnik News, i.e. Russian State Media, eh?
“So then why doesn’t Putin get rid of those 10,000 nuclear missiles aimed at the US?
Because our evil government wants to make him an enemy.
And that ain’t sayin’ much!
Times sure change.
...and point them at Canada. LOL!
So then why doesn’t Putin get rid of those 10,000 nuclear missiles aimed at the US?
“So then why doesn’t Putin get rid of those 10,000 nuclear missiles aimed at the US?”
Maybe because we have just as many aimed at his country and a president who is off his rocker, obsessed with Russia being an enemy and China is not.
“So then why doesn’t Putin get rid of those 10,000 nuclear missiles aimed at the US?”
Maybe they do not trust the people in DC that are in control of our government.

I’m curious whether the federal government would consider extreme measures like deploying nuclear weapons against Texas or other states that oppose its policies. Didn’t President Biden suggest that civilian arms might not be sufficient defense against USA’s military aircraft and tanks?
I have reservations about trusting Washington, D.C., and I understand why the Russians might feel the same way.
I will be watching tomorrow.
The words "United States" and "Biden Administration" are not synonymous. That's the whole raison d'etre of this website.
Putin doesn't see the United States as an enemy but I'm damn sure he sees the woke, globalist Deep State Biden/Clinton cabal as the enemy.
“His stance is by no means pro-Russian and it is not pro-Ukrainian – rather, it is pro-American,” the spokesman said. “But at least it differs from the stance of all these traditional Anglo-Saxon media.”
The Russians trust Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
Any estimates on how long the table was?
There's already a lively debate on Twitter among DC think-tank types, neocons, democrats about how Tucker Carlson could be charged under "the Espionage Act," or how he might be tied up on their now-common lawfare
Let the Soviet show trials begin!
As Putin said recently: "The USA is striding confidently along the path taken by the Soviet Union"
