Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said that the Russian Federation "did not achieve its goals" during the war with Ukraine. He talked about his defeat in an interview with Tucker Carlson, who is called the "American Solovyov"
Putin is unhappy with the results of the Russo-Ukrainian war
Analyzing the progress of the war against Ukraine, the head of the Kremlin admitted that Russia still "has not achieved the goals of the SMO (this is how the Russian Federation calls the war against Ukraine — ed.)."
According to the dictator, it is primarily about the so-called "denazification", which involves the "banning of all neo-Nazi movements", which, it is essential to understand, do not exist in Ukraine at all.
Moreover, Putin once again cynically lied that "Ukraine started the war, and Russia's goal is to stop it."
The issue of Russia's occupation of Crimea was also actively discussed during the interview.
Tucker Carlson began to claim that the president of the Russian Federation was not going to give Crimea to Ukraine to achieve peace.
Crimea was in the hands of Russia at the beginning of this war. Therefore, if you really believe that Putin will have to give up Crimea as a condition for achieving peace, then you are crazy, said the pro-Russian journalist.
Against this background, Putin once again repeated his traditional lie about the alleged protection of Crimea from Ukraine.
In 2014, Russia was forced to take Crimea under its protection, as the peninsula was under threat.

In addition, in the same interview, the head of the Kremlin accused official Kyiv of unwillingness to conduct negotiations, even though it did not fulfil Ukraine's conditions for their initiation.
Who is Tucker Carlson?
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 channel's main propagandist of conspiracy theories and radical rhetoric."
By the way, he may be subject to EU sanctions for an interview with the war criminal and dictator Putin.
