Putin wants out of the war in Ukraine, he will not become more open to negotiations while it continues. This was stated by the American journalist Tucker Carlson, whose interview with the Russian president ignited many controversies since it was broadcast at the end of last week.
On the one hand, the Russian economy has turned out to be much more stable than expected, and on the other hand, the West, including Washington, does not take the time to ask what are the achievable goals in this situation, the journalist noted before the World Government Meeting that began today in Dubai .
According to Carlson, who has repeatedly accused the administration of incompetence, government officials in Washington do not understand the realities of the region and lack the necessary perspective.
He indicated that for three years he had been trying to get an interview with the Russian head of state, but his efforts had been thwarted by the US intelligence services, which had spied on his text messages and provided them to the New York Times, thereby provoking the Russian authorities to cancel the interview.
According to him, American politicians have convinced themselves that Putin is planning to take over Poland, but according to him, there is no evidence of such intentions, BTA reported.
The journalist defended his conduct during the interview, saying he wanted to get as long an interview as possible and let Putin talk so Americans could judge what was going on.
The interview Putin gave Carlson was the first with a Western journalist since the start of the war in Ukraine, which this month entered its third year.
