Ukrainska Pravda reports that American journalist and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who interviewed Putin in February 2024, has been featured on Russian television for a considerable time. The article notes that his show has been broadcast on the Rossiya 24 channel not since 2024, as previously reported in error, but since September 2023.
The text emphasizes that the updated information is based on data from the InfoLight.UA information portal, which recorded the show’s appearance on the Russian channel back in 2023.
It also mentions that the previous version of the news contained an incorrect date—May 2024—and included a description of the first episode of the TUCKER program, in which Carlson discussed ticks and Lyme disease with experts.
Ukrainska Pravda provides details citing the Institute of Mass Information and the URA.RU resource: the TUCKER show is a joint project of the “Carlson TV” YouTube channel and the Rossiya 24 television channel.
The article also recalls the context of Carlson’s appearance in the Russian information space:
– On February 6, he announced an interview with Putin and stated that he had requested an interview with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
– On February 9, in an interview with Carlson, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin claimed an alleged desire to “achieve a resolution of the situation in Ukraine through negotiations.”
– On February 29, Carlson, in a conversation with Lex Fridman, acknowledged that the Kremlin deliberately attempts to demonize Ukrainians by calling them Nazis.
– On March 1, Dmitry Peskov commented on the journalist’s position, stating that the American “does not understand much, but—he listens.”
