‘Mr. Carlson is not correct’: Kremlin fact-checks Tucker on ‘interview’ claim harder than Fox News ever did
The Kremlin on Wednesday issued a fact-check to comments made by journalist Tucker Carlson ahead of the release of his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Carlson the day prior published a video to X confirming the interview after the former Fox News host was spotted in Russia earlier this week.
In his remarks, Carlson outlined his reasoning for meeting Putin before questioning why he was the only Western journalist to attempt such an interview amid the country’s conflict with Ukraine.
“Not a single Western journalist has bothered to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin,” Carlson said. Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine, or what his goals are now. They’ve never heard his voice. That’s wrong.”
Yet shortly after releasing the video, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian media outlets that Carlson’s allegations were incorrect.
“Mr. Carlson is not correct. In fact, there’s no way he could know this,” Peskov said. “We receive numerous requests for interviews with the president, but mostly, as far as countries in the collective West are concerned, these are from major network media: traditional TV channels and large newspapers that don’t even attempt to appear impartial in their coverage.”
Peskov added that Putin has “no desire to communicate with this kind of media” but agreed to Carlson’s request given that he “stands in clear contrast to the position of the traditional Anglo-Saxon media.”
Carlson’s interview, which has not yet been released, has stirred pushback from critics who fear the journalist will not only fail to push back on Putin but will instead amplify Kremlin propaganda.
And the Kremlin isn’t the only one to issue a fact-check on Carlson’s claims. Numerous journalists also noted on X that they had repeatedly attempted to interview Putin to no avail.
“Interesting to hear @TuckerCarlson claim that ‘no western journalist has bothered to interview’ Putin since the invasion of Ukraine,” BBC journalist Steve Rosenberg wrote. “We’ve lodged several requests with the Kremlin in the last 18 months. Always a ‘no’ for us.”
Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s Chief International Anchor, likewise noted that Putin had been declining interview requests for several years.
“Does Tucker really think we journalists haven’t been trying to interview President Putin every day since his full scale invasion of Ukraine? It’s absurd — we’ll continue to ask for an interview, just as we have for years now.
Russian journalist Yevgenia Albats, an expert on the KGB, described Carlson’s statement as “unbelievable.”
“Unbelievable! I am like hundreds of Russian journalists who have had to go into exile to keep reporting about the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine,” Albats wrote. “The alternative was to go to jail. And now this SoB is teaching us about good journalism, shooting from the $1000 Ritz suite in Moscow.”
Carlson has repeatedly praised Putin in the past, even going so far as to suggest that the U.S. should side with Russia over Ukraine.
“It may be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious, what is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?” Carlson said in 2022. “These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is: ‘No.’ Vladimir Putin didn’t do any of that.”
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Carlson’s interview may go live on his website and X on Thursday.
Kremlin Fact-Checks Tucker Carlson Ahead of Putin Interview
Just when you think Carlson could not make a bigger ass of himself.
It is just mind-blowing how for the right has gone into the back pocket of the Kremlin. The GOP is completely co-opted by ruzzian propaganda. So much so that they are about to abandon Ukraine. It is just unbelievable. John McCain and Reagan are rolling in their graves.
Putin, in rare US interview, says Russia has no interest in attacking Poland or Latvia
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview that aired on Thursday (Feb 8) that Russia will fight for its interests but has no interest in expanding its war in Ukraine to other countries such as Poland and Latvia.
Putin made the comment in a more than two-hour interview with Tucker Carlson, his first with an American journalist since before Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.
Asked if he could imagine a scenario in which he would send Russian troops to Poland, a NATO member. Putin replied: "Only in one case, if Poland attacks Russia. Why? Because we have no interest in Poland, Latvia or anywhere else. Why would we do that? We simply don't have any interest."
The interview was conducted in Moscow on Tuesday and aired on tuckercarlson.com.
Putin spoke in Russian and his remarks were dubbed into English. He began with lengthy remarks about Russia's relations with Ukraine, Poland and other countries.
The Kremlin said Putin agreed to the Carlson interview because the approach of the former Fox News host differed from the "one-sided" reporting of the Ukraine conflict by many Western news outlets.
Carlson is considered to have close connections to former US President Donald Trump, who is expected to be the Republican Party candidate in the November US presidential election.
Trump has called for de-escalation of the war in Ukraine, in which the Biden administration has strongly backed the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and complained about the billions of dollars in aid sent so far.
For his part, Carlson has said much Western media coverage of the war is biased in Kyiv's favour.

Putin, in rare US interview, says Russia has no interest in attacking Poland or Latvia
So anyone in Poland or Latvia ought to be bricking themselves right now…
… but Ukraine is a special case ….
Let's face it - it was a very interesting interview.
Glad Vlad is more comfortable getting closer to people.
That makes him easier to take out.
By just chucking grenades into the interview room next time.
Sean Hannity - that will be your crowning moment.
I noticed there were no questions regarding how many of Putin's friends have jumped out windows.
Putin making it up as he goes along.
Fact check from TwitterPutin said in the interview with propagandist Carlson that Vladimir Zelensky's father "fought with the Nazis."
Alexander Zelenskyy was born in 1947, two years after the end of World War II.
At least make up lies that are not so easily uncovered.
Apparently that’s irrelevant. The maga crowd will lap it up regardless. Trump proved that.
Easy to tell when Vlad is lying. His lips move.
Remember this.
