Key takeaways from Tucker Carlson's interview with Russia's Putin | DW News

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has given his first one-on-one interview to Western media since 2019 – to a controversial right-wing US talk show host.

Tucker Carlson is a former Fox News host, a key ally of 2024 election candidate Donald Trump – and a vocal opponent to US military aid for Ukraine. He travelled to Moscow to conduct the interview, which was broadcast on the 'Tucker Carlson Network'. The Russian president used the occasion to push for recognition of Moscow's interests – depicting Russia as a victim of Western betrayal and fearmongering.

Carlson left Putin largely unchallenged. In video from Tucker Carlson Network, some questions led to jokes rather than real answers.

For more on this, we talk to our correspondents William Glucroft and Roman Goncharenko, who are standing by to help us.

Now DW if you have some balls, bring us the truth about the blowing up of the Nordstream pipelines.

[VladislavM-kqyo]

The level of manipulation from the media being it west or east is just unbearable. Seems like the only way is to look at full interviews / learn real documents / analyze raw data.

[Azrael]

DW is a joke. Using Hilary Clinton as a credible source😂

[MarkusFortius]

So, anyone who is watching this video, first, you should watch the whole interview. Don't let those puppets to fool you cutting out of the context.

[thexchox]

DW… wow what a joke. It’s like you assume we didn’t watch it ourselves.

[chandraalapati]

You fools, 150 million watched this interview in less than 24 hrs. Which is more than total views achieved by DW in solical media, in it's entire existence

[warok]

I don't understand why western media and politicians are closing their ears instead of earing and trying to understand, even if they fully disagree....

[jackbleiham]

Does DW really think we need DW to understand what was said in the interview ?

[ibone]

They must think the full interview is not on the internet 😂

[jasonmoller]

Hilary interview aired before Tuckers interview. She didn't even see the interview. That tells you enough.

[sergiovaldez]

They cut all important comments and explanations, especially about pipeline 💥

[mogurumoguru]

Maybe DW could play the parts that concern Germany, those were quite interesting....

[denismefaev]

Imagine how they frame their other news when you have no way of checking the facts?

[brunoposa]

You can call the "Who blew up Nordstream? -You!" bit as a joke, but as I saw the interview in full, and Putin elaborated on that saying it might have been the CIA doing it, and he concluded with the common-sense point to look at who had the capability and motivation (in other words who benefited from it)

[atky]

DW is not showing the relevant parts. The part Putin said about blowing up Nord is selected. He did answer the question later.

[moedani]

I recommend watching the full interview

[zadeofazeroth]

I noticed you didn’t report the important parts.

[ferboots]

listen to the whole interview, dont let DW tell u what are the keypoints

[simashikorieva]

The chopped interview 😊 be brave to listen to the full version

[suilaruleonard]

It's like these dudes think we didn't watch it. 😂
