Vladimir Putin gave a long interview to American conservative journalist Tucker Carlson. The interview was the first granted by the Russian president to a Western journalist since the start of the war in Ukraine.

Putin ruled out an invasion of Poland or Latvia. The Russian president also affirmed that it was possible to find an agreement for the release of American journalist Evan Gershkovich, detained in Russia for almost a year. The words of the master of the Kremlin, who spoke in Russian, were dubbed into English.
