"Putin Criticizes Tucker Carlson's Soft Interview Approach"

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed disappointment with Tucker Carlson's soft interview style, expecting more aggressive questioning. Carlson's two-hour interview with Putin was criticized for allowing the Russian leader to deliver lengthy monologues and dismiss interruptions. Putin noted Carlson's patience but expressed dissatisfaction with the interview. Carlson, known for praising Putin and criticizing U.S. policies, continued to laud the Kremlin after the interview. However, Putin's regime faces criticism for eradicating public dissent through crackdowns on free speech and political opposition.
