❗️Kremlin comments on Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson:

🔺Carlson did not coordinate his questions for the interview with Putin in advance: we never collect any questions.

🔺Over the past few days, the Kremlin has received numerous interview requests from major media outlets around the world. All of these requests will be considered for future interviews.

🔺There is no hysteria or panic in the American media following Putin's interview with Carlson, but rather a sense of professional jealousy appears to be present among some individuals.

🔺The Western media and establishment will undoubtedly scrutinize and analyze the Tucker-Putin interview.

🔺After the Tucker Carlson interview, no attempts were made to contact Putin through diplomatic channels.

🔺While Putin's main concern is the reaction of Russians, it is also vital that the interview reach as many people as possible in the West.

Potential US military deployment in Ukraine 'would likely lead to open war with Russia'

Vladimir Putin’s remark during his interview with Tucker Carlson about a potential US troop deployment in Ukraine threatening to put the world on the brink of a global conflict is not the first such warning made by the Russian president, says Ret. Col. Gen. Georgy Shpak, former commander of Russia’s Airborne Forces.

“It would be an open war, according to all international laws,” he remarked.

Shpak also concurred with Putin’s dismissal of the claims made by the West about Russia posing a threat to Poland, the Baltic states, and other European nations.

“Alas, a great many people believe that. They believe that Russia is bad, extremely bloodthirsty, and clearly poised to overrun Poland and the Baltic states after Ukraine,” Shpak lamented.
