‘Legend’ and ‘masterclass diplomat’: Sergey Lavrov leaves quite an impression after Carlson’s interview

Online users, especially American ones, were quick to give the thumbs-up to American journalist Tucker Carlson's just-released interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, which has already been viewed more than three million times on X (formerly Twitter).

“Amazing”, “excellent”, “great”, “phenomenal”, “powerful”, “tremendous” – this is how the X users praised the interview, also applauding Lavrov’s diplomatic skills to sit down with Carlson and give “real answers”, which were “not noscripted” and “not written down.”

Reactions to Lavrov:

💬 The interview “provided a concise and insightful summary of the key issues, delivered in Lavrov’s characteristically down-to-earth and precise style”

💬 “Lavrov is a genius. By far the Nestor of diplomacy worldwide”

💬 “Lavrov is an absolute legend, a masterclass diplomat”

💬 “This man is well spoken, defines the situation, defines where Russia stands, gives detailed reasons for the war, etc. I have not seen an American politician do anything close. When I fact-check him, he’s right”

Reactions to Carlson:

💬 Many thank Carlson for the interview they touted as an example of “true journalism”

💬 “Americans deserve the truth. Thank you, Tucker Carlson. You are the Cronkite [CBS News’ late anchor] of our time, but 1000 times better.”
