What is known about Karslon's interview with Putin
The American ex-TV host and vlogger Tucker Carlson conducted his first interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a Western journalist. It lasts more than two hours.
Putin began his interview with a long history lesson, making false claims about Ukraine's sovereignty and distorting historical interpretations of Ukrainian statehood.
He touched on the topic of NATO expansion, which blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines, but the main topic was the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Tucker Carlson is an American journalist known for his active pro-Russian position.
He was the host of Fox News's Tucker Carlson Tonight from 2016 to 2023 but was fired last April without an official explanation from his employer.
As CNN later stated, "Carlson was the main propagandist of conspiracy theories and radical rhetoric on the channel."
