U.S. embassy in Kiev blocking Zelensky interview - Tucker Carlson| 4 Dec 2024 | American journalist Tucker Carlson has said the U.S. government has been blocking his attempts to organize an interview with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky for more than a year. On Wednesday, Carlson published a video on X in which he previewed the upcoming release of an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The journalist said the conversation with Russia's top diplomat was aimed at providing a perspective on how close Washington and Moscow could be to a direct clash, after the regime of outgoing Joe Biden granted Ukraine permission to fire American-made long-range weapons deep into Russian territory. In the same clip, filmed on Manezhnaya Square in the heart of Moscow, the former Fox News host revealed that "we have also tried for over a year to get an interview with Zelensky, the president of Ukraine."
