In a 35-minute interview with Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the 1200-year history of Russia, the Ukrainian conflict, NATO's expansion, and the Nord Stream pipeline explosion. Putin's notable quotes included criticisms of the US for isolating Russia from global trade and manipulating NATO to annex three Russian border states. He also suggested that the CIA engineered a coup d'état in Ukraine before the country was invited to join NATO, which provoked Russia's invasion. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Alicia Kearns, chair of the Commons foreign affairs committee, criticized the interview, with Kearns labeling it 'aggressor-washing' and Sunak calling Putin's war justifications 'ridiculous.' The interview has led to a variety of reactions, including accusations against Western media and discussions on Putin's condition for peace involving Crimea.
THE key part of the #TuckerCarlson interview. In 2004, NATO, a US puppet, annexed 3 Russian border states. Then the CIA engineered a coup d'état of a freely elected, but pro-Russian, Ukrainian president. Then we invited Ukraine to join NATO. #Putin, thus provoked, invaded. https://t.co/U1CE3FIqZI
