Russian President Vladimir Putin recently participated in a two-hour interview with American media personality Tucker Carlson. The interview, aired in its entirety, covered a range of topics including the history of Russia and Ukraine, as well as the relationship between Russia and the Western media.
During the interview, Putin took the opportunity to assert his view that Ukraine is an integral part of Russia. This stance was somewhat discomforting for Carlson, who committed to airing the interview without any edits. The exchange revealed that Putin had a firm grip on the conversation, leaving Carlson appearing to lose control.
