Russia was willing to comply with the implementation of the Minsk agreements, President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine was sparked by a CIA-backed coup in 2014, Putin said.
Russia would not have reacted if not for the “bloody developments” of the killing of civilians and law enforcement officers during the so-called Maidan Revolution, Putin said.
Putin was speaking in Russian during the interview and the quotes are from Carlson’s official translation in English.
“The current Ukrainian leadership, foreign minister, all other officials and then president himself said that they don't like anything about the Minsk agreements,” Putin said in the interview, released on Thursday. “We addressed the United States and European countries’ leadership to stop these developments immediately, to implement the Minsk agreements. But frankly speaking, I didn't know how we were going to do this. But I was ready to implement them.”

❗️ Russian President Vladimir Putin, responding to Tucker Carlson's question about joining NATO, said that Russia could have possibly joined the alliance.
"Were you sincere? Would you have joined NATO?" Carlson asked.
"Look, I asked the question, is it possible or not? And the answer I got was no. If I was insincere in my desire to find out what the leadership position was...." the president said.
"But if he had said yes, would you have joined NATO?" Carlson asked.
"If he had said yes, the process of rapprochement would have commenced, and eventually it might have happened if we had seen some sincere wish on the side of our partners," Putin said.

Putin admits that he’s surprised by Germany’s refusal to say who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.
Subscribe to @SputnikInt
“This also confuses me, but today's German leadership is guided by the interests of the collective West rather than its national interests. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the logic of their action or inaction. After all, it is not only about Nord Stream one, which was blown up, and the Nord Stream two was damaged, but one pipe is safe and sound and gas can be supplied to Europe through it. But Germany does not open it. We are ready. Please.”

Tucker Carlson's historic interview with Putin: the final nail in MSM's coffin (Part 1)
Netizens hailed Carlson and mocked the mainstream media and Western politicians who have smeared the US journalist over the past two days by calling him a "Putin stooge", a "traitor" and even calling for denying him re-entry into the US.
▪️ "Let the synchronized meltdown begin," wrote X user Bad Hombre, posting a photo collage of weeping politicians and pundits, including Hillary Clinton, who called Tucker "Putin's useful idiot"; US liberal TV presenter Rachel Meddow; Volodymyr Zelensky; and former US Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who labeled Carlson a "traitor."
▪️ "Tucker Carlson has been smeared for days. The legacy media and Democrat establishment are upset at him for simply doing his job," US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy tweeted. "Americans can handle thought-provoking conversations. We can handle dangerous thoughts or contrary ideas that don’t fit the MSM narrative. Let us decide for ourselves."
▪️ "Congratulations to Tucker Carlson on this historic interview with Vladimir Putin," said user Paul A. Szypula. "The fact so many in corporate media opposed Tucker doing this interview means he did the right thing. You might not like Putin — but he’s more honest about US politics than most US politicians."
