OREANDA-NEWS American journalist Tucker Carlson confirmed on Tuesday that he intends to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
"Today we are in Moscow. And we are here to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin. We will do it soon," Carlson said in a video posted on his social media account.
Explaining the decision to seek such an interview, he noted that his job as a journalist is precisely to "inform people." According to him, almost two years after the beginning of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, "most Americans are not aware of the situation, they have no real idea of what is happening in this region."
Carlson added that the events in Ukraine have significantly changed, in particular, "global military and trade alliances."
"The economic system created after the Second World War is being destroyed," the American journalist added.
According to Carlson, the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden a few years ago tried to prevent him from interviewing Putin. However, despite the continuation of such attempts, this time he still came to Moscow.
"We are not here because we love Vladimir Putin. We are here because we love the United States, and we want it to remain prosperous and free," Carlson said. He stressed that he considers it important that the American media, covering the Ukrainian crisis, not be limited to reporting only the point of view of Kiev.
He also added that he does not intend to impose any ideas on the audience. The journalist believes that after watching the interview, everyone will be able to form their own point of view on the events in Russia and Ukraine.
Finally, Carlson stated that he had repeatedly requested an interview with the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky. "I hope he agrees," he said.
Earlier this week, Western media suggested that Carlson, who arrived in Moscow, was preparing to interview the president of the Russian Federation.
The Kremlin left Putin's possible interview with an American journalist without comment.
"As for possible interviews with the president, including with foreign media, at the moment we have nothing to tell you. If such plans are implemented, we will inform you," Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, told reporters on Monday.
