A spokesperson for the Russian government clarified that it has rejected requests to interview Vladimir Putin from reputable media outlets
The Kremlin’s first public response to Tucker Carlson’s announcement that he’s landed an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin was to fact-check the former Fox News host.

It’s better for me to keep my mouth shut on specifics, and let them know I support them and I’ll respect whatever terminology they prefer.
