Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has unveiled his extensive interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which commenced with a comprehensive discussion on Russian history and its relationship with Ukraine.

The two-hour, seven-minute interview, recorded on February 6th, was made public shortly before 6pm ET on Thursday. Carlson ventured to Moscow for Putin's first interview with a Western media representative since the onset of the Ukraine invasion in February 2022.

During the interview, Putin embarked on a detailed exploration of Eastern European history, spanning over half an hour, tracing back to the establishment of the Russian state in the 9th Century.

Putin's discourse touched upon Russia's historical connections with the region, shedding light on its geopolitical dynamics and framing the context for contemporary developments, notably Russia's involvement in Ukraine.

The release of the interview marks a significant moment in media coverage of the Ukraine crisis, providing insights into Putin's perspective on key historical and geopolitical issues underlying the conflict.

As tensions continue to escalate in Eastern Europe, Putin's remarks during the interview are expected to provoke analysis and debate among policymakers, analysts, and the wider public.

The interview serves as a testament to the role of media in fostering dialogue and understanding amidst complex geopolitical challenges. By engaging directly with Western media, Putin's interview with Carlson offers a platform for diverse viewpoints and interpretations of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

As the international community grapples with the implications of Russia's actions in the region, the release of the interview contributes to ongoing efforts to comprehend the complexities of the conflict and explore pathways toward resolution.
