Vladimir Putin tells Tucker Carlson US should stop arming Ukraine to end war

Rambling two-hour talk with Tucker Carlson, a Trump-supporting rightwing commentator, was Russian president’s first with a western media outlet since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. ’If you really want to stop fighting, you need to stop supplying weapons. It will be over within a few weeks,’ Putin said. He accused the US and the west of prolonging the war and singled out Boris Johnson, claiming that as British prime minister he dissuaded Zelenskiy from signing a peace deal in the early stages of the war.
