Scholz said this at a meeting with American President Joe Biden.
“When we saw this ridiculous interview that Putin gave, we realized that he always lies a lot about the history of this war,” Scholz said, accusing the Russian president of “imperialism.”
Western countries must do everything possible to support Ukraine, the Chancellor is confident, as quoted by the White House press service.
American journalist Seymour Hersh has already watched his colleague Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin. According to French politician Florian Philippot, the interview was a breakthrough in the information blockade of Western countries.
As noted in the Kremlin, Putin’s interview was a good opportunity for the Russian leader to be heard in the West, where the largest media are under the control of the Anglo-Saxons.
In particular, during a conversation with a journalist, the Russian President expressed bewilderment why Germany remained silent, knowing full well that the explosion at Nord Stream was caused by their NATO partners and that this dealt a blow to the German economy. As Putin stated, today's German authorities are not guided by national interests.
