"Putin Criticizes Tucker Carlson's Softball Interviewing Style"

Russian President Vladimir Putin complained that Tucker Carlson asked "softball" questions during their interview, expressing disappointment that the fired Fox News host failed to challenge him. Putin criticized Carlson's passivity and claimed he had expected more aggressive questioning. During the interview, Putin blamed Ukraine for starting the war and urged the U.S. to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. Carlson has a history of being soft on Russia and has made unsubstantiated claims about government interference in his attempts to interview Putin.
