"Putin's Propaganda: Consequences of Tucker Carlson's Interview and False Claims"
A prominent Russian academic, Sergey Karaganov, discussed the potential "consequences" of Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a Kremlin-controlled television network, suggesting that the interview will contribute to a perceived Western retreat from Ukraine. Karaganov emphasized the need for Russia to escalate its war efforts in response to this alleged decline of Western support for Kyiv, even suggesting the use of nuclear weapons to break Western support for Ukraine. The interview continues to be a major topic for media outlets operated by the Kremlin, with Karaganov's appearance on the Russian state network TV Center highlighting the concerns raised.
