Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson is well thought out for Western audiences. This was pointed out by Jean-Robert Raviot, a professor at the Department of Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at the University of Western Paris – Nanterre-la-Défense.
“It was very well calibrated specifically for the external public and structured in such a way as to give out a lot of small quotes, which, I think, will now be picked up by a variety of media,” – Ravio noted on the TV channel TV5 Monde.
Among foreign audiences, Putin’s position will find a positive response, the professor believes. After all, right now in the United States a conflict between authorities is unfolding over the issue of providing assistance to Kyiv.
According to Ravio, Putin chose the right moment to address the American public to “explain the Russian position within the framework of the Ukrainian conflict.”
French politician Florian Philippot previously pointed out that Putin’s interview caused panic among NATO supporters.
As former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter suggested, the United States and the European Union fear that the entire Western world will learn the truth after the Russian leader’s published conversation with an American journalist.
Let us remind you that on February 3, the famous American journalist Tucker Carlson was spotted in Moscow. He was seen at the Bolshoi Theater in the ballet “Spartacus”. The purpose of Carlson’s visit to Russia was not stated. The journalist himself did not write anything about this on social networks.
Rumors spread in the media that Carlson came to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin. REN TV published a video in which Carlson commented on this information, saying: “We’ll see.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on February 5 that he currently had nothing to report about Putin’s possible interview with Carlson.
Answering a question about the reasons for his visit to Russia, Carlson admitted that he had heard a lot about our country and wanted to see it in person, communicate with people and “see how everything works.”
The former Fox News host called the American media “really crazy” for reacting violently to the news of his trip to Moscow.
Later, the Russian leader’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, confirmed the information that Carlson recorded an interview with Putin. The impressions from this conversation, as Peskov added, can be judged after its publication.
Before this, the journalist announced an interview with the President of Russia. As American presenter Alex Jones reported on social network X, Carlson spoke with Putin for two hours. According to him, the journalist promised not to delay the release of the interview.
The interview was published on Carlson’s website on the night of February 9. In the first 15 minutes from the moment of publication, over 2.5 million people watched it.
