Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson was spotted earlier this week in Moscow, igniting widespread speculation about his reasons for visiting. It has now been confirmed by Carlson himself that he was in Russia to secure an exclusive interview with President Vladimir Putin.
The interview, scheduled for release today at 6 PM EST on TuckerCarlson.com, promises to be one of the most significant media events of the year.
Carlson, known for his outspoken criticism of far-left media narratives, has faced both anticipation and backlash for his decision to interview the Russian leader.
In a video statement shared on X, Carlson outlined the reason behind his trip to Moscow and the upcoming interview, emphasizing the importance of journalism’s role in informing the public, especially in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

RELATED: Hungary Vows to Block EU Sanctions Against Tucker Carlson over Putin Interview
Published February 8, 2024
Hungary has vowed to block censorious attempts from globalist Eurocrats such as Guy Verhofstadt to impose sanctions on Tucker Carlson for interviewing Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
Amid the left-wing establishment furore over Carlson’s decision to interview the Russian head of state, former Belgian prime minister and current member of the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt called for an EU travel ban to be imposed on the American journalist and for the bloc to begin the process to levy sanctions External Action Service, the EU’s diplomatic controlled by Spanish socialist Josep Borrell.
However, the body does not have unilateral authority to sanction individuals but rather can merely present evidence to the European Council, the executive arm of the EU composed of the heads of state or government of the EU member states, any of whom has the power to veto a decision.
Therefore, socially conservative Hungary has the ability to block the EU from sanctioning Carlson and on Tuesday confirmed that it would do so if the measure was put before the Council.

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin could see the conservative pundit targeted by European Unionlawmakers, current and former members of the European Parliament have told Newsweek.
Carlson visited Russia this week, and on Tuesday revealed he would “soon” be releasing an interview with the Russian leader.
Carlson’s work in Russia could see the former Fox News host in hot water with the EU, Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgian prime minister and current member of the European Parliament, told Newsweek.
The lawmaker—who has called for the EU to explore imposing a “travel ban” on Carlson—described Carlson as “a mouthpiece” of former President Donald Trump and Putin, adding: “As Putin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine his case as well.”
