Tucker Carlson Interviews Russian Foreign Minister in Moscow
The conservative commentator claims U.S. policies are escalating tensions with Russia and warns of a potential nuclear conflict.
- Tucker Carlson announced his return to Moscow for an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, which he said will be released soon.
- Carlson criticized the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war, alleging that U.S. support for Ukraine has brought the world closer to nuclear war than during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
- He accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken of severing diplomatic ties with Russia and claimed there are no backchannel communications between the two nations.
- Carlson stated that repeated attempts to interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were blocked by the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, prompting his decision to seek the 'Russian perspective.'
- This marks Carlson's second high-profile interview with a senior Russian official this year, following a widely criticized February sit-down with President Vladimir Putin.
