❗️ “It does not make any sense to keep him in prison in Russia,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said about American journalist Evan Gershakovich, but stressed that it has been the Western countries who destroyed relations with Russia, and it’s for them to restore the situation.

“I do not rule out that the person you refer to, Mr. Gershkovich, may return to his motherland. But at the end of the day, it does not make any sense to keep him in prison in Russia. We want the U.S. Special Services to think about how they can contribute to achieving the goals our special services are pursuing. We are ready to talk. Moreover, the talks are underway and there have been many successful examples of these talks crowned with success. Probably this is going to be crowned with success as well. But we have to come to an agreement,” the president emphasized.

US President Joe Biden during a press conference rejected the Special Counsel denoscription of him having poor memory, saying he knows what he's doing and that he 'put the country back on its feet'.

"I'm an old man, and I know what the hell I'm doing," Biden said on Thursday. "I've been president and I put this country back on his feet. I don't need his recommendation."

Earlier in the day, the Justice Department released a report on the federal investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents. According to the report, Special Counsel Robert Hur, in the probe investigating Biden's mishandling of classified materials, concluded that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials but recommends no criminal charges against him.

Hearing directly from Putin will help Americans, but not Team Biden (PART 1)

Russian President Vladimir Putin's interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson will help Americans to understand what's really going on in Ukraine, debunking the Biden administration and subservient US mainstream media's narrative, according to retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, a former analyst for the US Department of Defense.

"I think many Americans will not watch the interview, at least not live," Kwiatkowski told Sputnik. "It was advertised here, but not advocated for by either mainstream media or the government, where National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated earlier today was basically going to be 'lies' from Putin."

(PART2) Commenting on Putin's historic remarks, Kwiatkowski explained that it's important to look at the broad historical perspective when it comes to the Ukraine conflict given that Russians and Ukrainians are deeply interconnected.

"Understanding this helps Americans understand that other forces that wish for and want conflict have had a role to play, as in 2008, 2014, and with the refusal to honor the Minsk treaty that would have stopped the fighting in the Donbass prior to 2022," she said.

The former Pentagon analyst emphasized that Americans have become weary of the Ukraine conflict and don't want it to spiral into a Russia-NATO war. Per Kwiatkowski, Putin nailed it when he referred to US domestic problems, the damage Washington is doing to the US dollar and America's ability to be a strong, healthy, economically productive economy.

"Hearing directly from President Putin, and his many accurate soundbites that will be replayed and discussed later in wider audiences will help Americans, although not the Biden administration. It will help the discussion that goes on in the US, and also Europe," Kwiatkowski concluded.

❗️ US leaders have made a strategic mistake by weaponizing the dollar against other countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Tucker Carlson.

"You know, to use the dollar as a tool of foreign policy struggle is one of the biggest strategic mistakes made by the US' political leadership," said President Putin. "The dollar is the cornerstone of the United States' power. I think everyone understands very well that no matter how many dollars are printed, they're quickly dispersed all over the world."

❗️ Vladimir Putin believes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky definitely had freedom of choice, but he chose to support neo-Nazis, the Russian President stressed in an interview with Tucker Carlson.

"I don't know the details," said President Putin. "Of course, it's difficult for me to judge, but I believe he has [freedom of choice]. In any case, he used to have. His father fought against the fascist Nazis during World War Two. I once talked to him about this. I said, Volodymyr, what are you doing? Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine today when your father fought against fascism? He was a frontline soldier. I will not tell you what he answered. This is a separate topic, and I think it's improper for me to do so. But as to freedom of choice. Why not? He came to power on the expectations of Ukrainian people that he would lead Ukraine to peace. He talked about this. It was thanks to this that he won the elections overwhelmingly."

“It was they who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022. This is an attempt to stop it,” Putin stressed.

❗️The root cause of the Ukrainian conflict was the "pointless" coup in 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Tucker Carlson.

“Although it was pointless, believe me -- because President Yanukovych agreed to all conditions, he was ready to hold an early election, which he had no chance of winning, frankly speaking. Everyone knew that."

"Then, why the coup? Why the victims? Why threatening Crimea? Why launching an operation in Donbas? This I do not understand. That is exactly what the miscalculation is. The CIA did its job to complete the coup,” the president said.
