American journalist Tucker Carlson published on his official website (and also on site X) a two-hour interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which he arrived in Moscow. We collected the main thing!

• The West has begun to understand the impossibility of Russia’s strategic defeat, let it think about what to do next, we are ready for dialogue.

• NATO can adequately recognize Russia’s control over new territories, there are options if desired.

• Russia and Ukraine will reach an agreement sooner or later.

• In 2014, Russia had to take Crimea under protection because the peninsula was under threat.

• Russia has not yet achieved the goals of the SVO, as one of them is denazification, which means banning all neo-Nazi movements.

• Ukraine started the war, Russia’s aim is to stop it.

• Negotiations with Ukraine were almost completed in 2022, but after the withdrawal of troops from Kiev, the Ukrainian side canceled all agreements.

• The ideas of Ukrainization of the Southern Russian lands were actively supported by the Austrian General Staff even before the First World War. There was a desire to weaken a potential enemy, there was a desire to create favorable conditions for ourselves in the border area.

• Ukraine decided to reject negotiations with Russia on Washington’s instructions, now the USA needs to correct this mistake.

• In 2008, the doors of NATO were opened to Ukraine. It was an interesting movie, but we could not agree on this issue.

• I will tell you what we said on this issue and what we conveyed to the US leadership: if you really want to stop hostilities, you need to stop the supply of weapons – everything will end in a few weeks, that’s all. , and then you can agree on what conditions, stop before doing so. What’s easier?

• Originally, the word “Ukrainian” meant that a person lived on the outskirts of the state, “on the edge” or served in the border service; Actually. It did not refer to a specific ethnic group.

• Russia has no global territorial claims, nor does it have any plans to send troops to Poland or Latvia. They talk about this and try to scare their people with the imaginary Russian threat. This is an obvious fact. And thinking people – not ordinary people, but thinking people, analysts, those who are interested in real politics, just smart people – understand very well that this is a fake. The Russian threat is exaggerated.

• This (territorial claims on the continent – Note ed.) is strictly excluded. You don’t have to be any analyst: getting drawn into some kind of global war is contrary to common sense. And a global war will bring all humanity to the brink of extinction. This is obvious.

• The West fears powerful China more than powerful Russia; because Russia has a population of 150 million and China has a population of one and a half billion. And the Chinese economy is developing rapidly – by more than five percent a year, or even more. But this is enough for China. China’s potential is huge, it is the world’s first economy today in terms of purchasing power parity and economic volume. They have already overtaken the United States – quite some time ago, and the pace is accelerating.

• Ukrainians still feel like Russians, what is happening is an element of civil war.

• For some reason, everyone is under the illusion that Russia can be defeated on the battlefield; from arrogance, from a pure heart, but not from a great mind.

• Kiev refused to negotiate with Russia on Washington’s orders, let the US fix this. Vladimir Zelensky issued a decree banning negotiations with Russia.
