German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said during his visit to the USA that he had familiarised himself with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with journalist Tucker Carlson. The German politician called the interview “ridiculous” and said that the West should continue military assistance to Ukraine.
Scholz said this at a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden.
“When we saw this ridiculous interview that Putin gave, we realized that he always lies a lot about the history of this war,” Scholz said, accusing the Russian president of “imperialism.”
Western countries should do everything possible to support Ukraine, the chancellor said, as quoted by the White House press service.
American journalist Seymour Hersh has already watched his colleague Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin. According to French politician Florian Philippot, the interview was a breakthrough in the information blockade of Western countries.
As the Kremlin noted, Putin’s interview was a good opportunity for the Russian leader to be heard in the West, where the largest media outlets are controlled by the Anglo-Saxons.
In particular, during the conversation with the journalist, the Russian president expressed bewilderment as to why Germany remains silent, realizing perfectly well that the explosion on the Nord Streams was organized by their NATO partners and that it dealt a blow to the German economy. As Putin stated, today’s German authorities are not guided by national interests.
