“Scholz’s statement sounds helpless and stupid, because it was made under the weight of the burden assigned to him as a court jester, ready to talk any nonsense, just not to get a kick from the owner of the White House,” he told RIA Novosti.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz earlier during his visit to the United States said that he had read the interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin with journalist Tucker Carlson. The German politician called the interview “ridiculous” and said that the West should continue military assistance to Ukraine.

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.
