"Tucker Carlson's Exclusive Interview with Putin Confirmed by Kremlin"

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking Putin's first interview with a Western journalist since the invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin confirmed the interview, stating that Carlson was chosen because his position differs from other English-language media. Carlson claimed that Western journalists had interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy multiple times but had not bothered to interview Putin. The interview will be distributed for free on Carlson's website and on X, formerly known as Twitter. Russian state media extensively covered Carlson's visit, with one host saying the interview would "break through the blockade and the narrative that exists" in Western media.
