Vladimir Putin in an interview claimed that his war against Ukraine can end in a matter of weeks. According to Russian President his country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine can come to a halt if the West would just stop helping Kyiv defend itself.
“If you really want to stop fighting, you need to stop supplying weapons,” referring to Western aid to Kyiv. “It will be over within a few weeks. That’s it,” he added.
For the first time Putin explained the term de-Nazification, “This means the prohibition of all kinds of neo-Nazi movements. We have to get rid of those people who maintain this concept and support this practice and try to preserve it,” he said.
Giving an indication to the fact that Biden has not tried to bring peaceful solution to the war Putin claimed, “I cannot remember when I talked to him,” adding that the two last spoke before the Feb. 2022 invasion of Ukraine. He then went on to mention “I had such personal relationship with Trump.”
On being asked about the attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in September 2022 — prompting a curious exchange, Putin responded: “You for sure.” Tucker responded, “I was busy that day. I did not blow up Nord Stream.”
Putin jokingly parried back that while anchor Carlson personally had an alibi for the day of the bombings, the CIA had none. The Russian didn’t present any evidence to back up his accusations — which Washington has repeatedly denied — arguing instead that only the U.S. would have the capability and interest in blowing up the pipeline.
