It is Putin\u2019s first interview to a Western media figure since his <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine\">full-scale invasion of Ukraine<\/a> two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlson had released a video from Moscow on Tuesday in which he said he would be interviewing Putin. Carlson claimed that Western journalists had interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy multiple times but could not be \u201cbothered\u201d to interview the Russian president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interview will be posted Thursday, according to Justin Wells, head of programming at Carlson\u2019s streaming network. It\u2019s not known what was said in the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin has heavily limited his contact with international media since he launched the war in Ukraine in February 2022. Russian authorities have cracked down on media, forcing some independent Russian outlets to close, blocking others and ordering a number of foreign reporters to leave the country. Two journalists working for U.S. news organizations \u2014 The Wall Street Journal\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/evan-gershkovich\">Evan Gershkovich<\/a> and Radio Free Europe\/Radio Liberty\u2019s Alsu Kurmasheva \u2014 are in jail on charges they reject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Western journalists were invited to Putin\u2019s annual press conference in December \u2014 the first since the war began \u2014 but only two were given the chance to ask a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WHY TUCKER CARLSON?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin\u2019s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that Carlson was chosen for the interview because \u201che has a position which differs\u201d from other English-language media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before his exit from Fox, Carlson repeatedly questioned the validity of U.S. support for Ukraine following the Russian invasion, and he\u2019s wondered why Americans are told to hate Putin so much. His commentaries were frequently circulated on Russian state-run media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his video this week, Carlson denounced \u201ccorrupt\u201d American media outlets for \u201cfawning pep sessions\u201d with Zelenskyy that he said were designed to get America into a war with eastern Europe and pay for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peskov also rejected Carlson\u2019s suggestion that no Western journalists had submitted requests to interview Putin. He said the Kremlin has received many requests from large Western television channels and newspapers which, he asserted, \u201ctake a one-sided position.\u201d Carlson\u2019s position, Peskov said, \u201cis in no way pro-Russian, nor pro-Ukrainian, but rather pro-American.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Associated Press is among the outlets that has requested an interview with Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoes Tucker really think we journalists haven\u2019t been trying to interview President Putin every day since his full scale invasion of Ukraine?\u201d CNN\u2019s Christiane Amanpour said on X. \u201cIt\u2019s absurd \u2014 we\u2019ll continue to ask for an interview, just as we have for years now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlson\u2019s trip comes as he has planted himself on former President Donald Trump\u2019s side in a growing split in the Republican party over Putin and the Ukraine war. Trump has pushed to cut off aid to Ukraine, and the GOP majority controlling the House of Representatives has complied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many Republicans are critical of the Russian president and his invasion, Trump and others have argued the United States has no interest helping Ukraine defend itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlson has also traveled to interview Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has fashioned himself into an icon for conservative populists across the globe and been Putin\u2019s closest ally in the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HOW THE INTERVIEW WILL BE DISTRIBUTED<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interview with Putin, Carlson said in his video, will be distributed for free on his website and on X, formerly known as Twitter. Carlson, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tucker-carlson-out-fox-news-58a8421c55978f223b9c4b1d1cbe50be\">fired by Fox News in April<\/a>, announced he was starting his own streaming service in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fox has offered no explanation for firing Carlson, who was its top-rated personality at the time. Like many people who leave the network that is conservative America\u2019s most popular news outlet, he has struggled to remain in the public eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlson worked at Fox News for more than a decade and hosted a show where he discussed conspiracy theories about Russia and the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/capitol-siege\">Jan. 6 insurrection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian state media on Wednesday extensively covered Carlson\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vladimir Solovyev, one of Russia\u2019s most famous television hosts, said the interview would \u201cbreak through the blockade and the narrative that exists\u201d in Western media which, he said, focuses on \u201cPutin\u2019s unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solovyev, whose show is often critical of Western media, said Carlson is \u201cfeared\u201d because he does not align with that narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">___<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Associated Press writer Nicholas Riccardi contributed to this
