Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the resonance around Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin overwhelming. Earlier, Western media criticized the American journalist after he spoke with the Russian President in Moscow.

American and European media tried to convict Carlson of sympathizing with the leadership of the Russian Federation and accused him of playing along with “Kremlin propaganda” According to analysts, such a stir can only fuel interest in the interview among Western audiences. “The interview with Putin is an event that caused a special resonance not only in America, but also in our country... The resonance is sometimes, let’s say, overwhelming,” Peskov said.
