Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Tucker Carlson for calling him a “dictator,” accusing him of repeating Vladimir Putin’s propaganda.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Zelensky dismissed claims of suppressing opposition and defended Ukraine’s paused elections as necessary under martial law.
Criticizing Carlson’s pro-Kremlin rhetoric, he fumed, “It seems to me he needs to more deeply understand what’s happening in Ukraine, to stop working for Putin, to stop licking his ass.”
Zelensky insisted Ukraine is fighting to preserve democracy, not undermine it.
And yet telling him to stop is probably not going to work. He’s too into it. You wouldn’t even have to pay him (but they’re probably paying him).
