Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson has confirmed his trip to Moscow, announcing plans to interview Vladimir Putin.
Carlson aims to provide a different perspective on the Ukraine conflict, countering what he sees as biased coverage in Western media.
Speculation had been swirling about Carlson’s visit to Russia, with rumors suggesting a meeting with Putin.
Carlson, who left Fox News amidst controversy, defends his decision to hear Putin’s side of the story, arguing that Americans deserve to understand the motives behind the Ukraine invasion.
While in Moscow, Carlson has faced criticism for potentially serving as a mouthpiece for Putin.
Russian media lauds him as a truth-teller, contrasting Western media portrayals.
In a social media post, Carlson previews his forthcoming interview, claiming it will reveal the “truth” about the Ukraine conflict, which he alleges is obscured by Western media bias.
He asserts that Americans are misinformed and promises an uncensored presentation of his conversation with Putin.
Carlson’s departure from Fox News followed his promotion of false claims about the 2020 election, resulting in a significant legal penalty for the network.
Since then, he has shifted his platform to X, where he explores various conspiracy theories.
In his post, Carlson criticizes Western media’s coverage of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, accusing them of propagating government narratives rather than practicing journalism.

“The populations of English-speaking countries seem mostly unaware.
Their media outlets are corrupt.
They lie to the readers and viewers,” Carlson asserts, questioning the integrity of Zelenskiy’s interviews in the U.S.
Carlson’s trip to Moscow and upcoming interview with Putin stir controversy, raising concerns about media impartiality and the portrayal of international conflicts.
