American journalist Tucker Carlson, in an interview with RTVI, called allowing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to negotiate a solution to the conflict a mistake.
“This is all very complicated, but in my view allowing Zelensky, who is not re-elected and has no moral right to rule anything, to allow him to negotiate is a big mistake,” he said.
Previously, Carlson called Russian President Vladimir Putin the world's most popular state leader. According to the journalist, Putin is so popular because he puts Russia's interests above his own.
