Tucker Carlson-Putin interview: Key takeaways
World
Vladimir Putin's interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, which lasts more than two hours, has racked up more than 40 million views on social network X in almost 4 hours since it was published on Friday night.
Putin answered about 60 of Carlson's questions, mostly about the West and Ukraine. The main points made during the sensational interview:
Russia has never refused to negotiate on Ukraine and is confident that the conflict will sooner or later end in peace and relations between the inhabitants of the two countries will be restored.
Putin has repeatedly warned U.S. President Joe Biden that he is making "a huge mistake of historic proportions… by pushing Russia away."
The Russian president admitted the possibility of releasing Evan Gershkovich, an American accused of espionage, and shared his opinion about businessman Elon Musk.
Putin believes that the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 pipelines was carried out by US special services.
Russia has no territorial claims to Poland, Latvia or other countries on the continent.
Russia has become Europe's first economy despite a large number of sanctions.
Moscow was interested in the possibility of joining NATO and offered Washington to build missile defences together. US presidents supported this, but their administrations refused.
