Putin's untruths disseminated to a global audience through Tucker Carlson interview

It's probable that many of the facts transmitted by Russian media and government representatives are not accurate. These reports may be elements of an information warfare crusade by the Russian Federation.

The interview, which was over 2 hours long, was shared by Tucker Carlson on his social media platforms - on Platform X (previously Twitter) and on YouTube. The Kremlin propaganda channels also circulated the conversation.

"The recording of journalist Tucker Carlson's conversation with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has attracted over 150 million views on the X service within just over 23 hours of its publication" - TASS.

The agency highlights that over 860,000 internet users have given it a "like," and nearly 270,000 have shared the interview.

The summary also includes data that the conversation with Putin gained over 8 million views on YouTube within less than a day.

What did the conversation address? Carlson's opening question was about the motivations behind the conflict with Ukraine. "Do you genuinely believe the US could strike Russia?" Carlson asked. Putin replied that he had never entertained such a notion. He added that he expects to participate in "a serious interview, not a chat show."

Putin devoted 25 minutes to presenting his interpretation of history. He reiterated what he often asserts, that "Ukraine is artificially construed as a state" and has close historical ties with Russia.

He also repeated that the objective of the extraordinary military operation, as he officially terms the invasion, is to "de-Nazify Ukraine, which celebrates Nazi collaborators".

Putin accused Ukraine once more of neglecting to resolve the conflict. Putin assured that Russia will not lose the war in Ukraine. "This will never occur. I believe the Western powers now understand this," - Putin asserted.
