Putin's false narrative on Russia-Ukraine history unfolds in contentious Tucker Carlson interview

The discourse with Vladimir Putin can be surmised as two hours of misleading and false commentary regarding the history of Russia, Ukraine, and many other global nations, including Poland. This marked the first instance the Russian president engaged with Western media since the commencement of the conflict in Ukraine. Carlson's interviewee also astonished viewers with his abrupt chat ending.

"Shall we finish our discussion here, or is there more to tackle?" Vladimir Putin unexpectedly posed this question to the American interviewer. These comments came on the heels of his explanation of an offbeat theory that Russian and Ukrainian nationalities would find reconciliation eventually due to shared cultural roots.

Carlson acknowledged Putin's suggestion and extended his gratitude for the engagement. Upon the release of the conversation, analysts observed that the Russian leader was allowed to air his misleading catchphrases and deceits without interruption. However, he stressed at the beginning of the program that he anticipated participating in an in-depth interview. He did not face any complex questions -Regarding his troops' conduct in Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin acknowledged Poland during the interview. He highlighted that Russia had no interest in the nation and had no plans to initiate an attack unless Warsaw provoked Moscow first. The Russian president pointed out that Ukraine had taken possession of territories that were once under the sovereignty of Poland and Hungary. He accused Poland of being responsible for the annexation of Zaolzie in 1938 - stating that even while Poland rebuffed cooperation with Germany and defied Hitler's demands, it still participated alongside Hitler in the partitioning of Czechoslovakia. Putin also underlined that he does not intend to instigate military disputes with any nation, including the USA.
