Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik has claimed the only reason Tucker Carlson has been allowed to interview Vladimir Putin is to “push propaganda”.

In a powerful interval, Ms Rudik told TalkTV today (8 February) that the interview will be very “painful” for the people of Ukraine, saying two years on from the start of the war, people “still think they can talk to Putin”.

The former Fox News host has already interviewed the Russian President, with the sit-down set to be released later today.

00:00 People were trying to get interview with Vladimir Putin, but you know what is actually happening
00:05 to journalists in Russia who are trying to have a balanced and open opinion? They appear in jail,
00:11 and then their international community is trying to get them out of jail. So there is like absolutely
00:16 no question to why Tucker Carson is being allowed there, because he will be helping propaganda.
00:21 And answering to your question, Nick, imagine somebody that you really love being killed in
00:27 the worst possible way. And imagine that the person who did that, who orders that, would be
00:33 allowed to speak about that. How much it would hurt you, knowing that instead of being prosecuted,
00:39 the person who ripped you apart or ripped somebody you loved apart, did the worst thing to them,
00:46 raped, tortured, murdered. He will be given a space to speak because it's considered interesting.
