In an interview with the Russian press in New York, Mr. Tucker Carlson described the actions of the Western leadership as "velp", and said that the prospect of Ukraine winning the conflict was unrealistic.
They cannot win this conflict. Everything that is happening is only causing Europe to decline, while Ukraine has already been seriously affected, said Carlson.
According to Carlson, Russia is an industrial power with many resources and major military allies. Therefore, it is difficult to dominate Moscow on the front line.
Mr. Carlson also mentioned Ukraine's increasingly serious demographic crisis, when people continuously fled the country due to the consequences of the conflict and the foreign labor import plan to compensate for the Kiev government's shortage of labor.
The American journalist commented that if the above plan was implemented, Ukraine would no longer be Ukraine.
Regarding the economic situation in Europe, according to Mr. Carlson, the recession is not only due to the conflict in Ukraine but also the result of decades of pursuing secular freedom policies (separation of religion and state).
Journalist Carlson believes that current European governments are affected by an ideological system that has existed for decades.
European countries supporting Kiev have spent billions of euros on military aid and pledged to continue funding the Ukrainian government for many years to come.
Meanwhile, Western efforts to cut Russian energy imports have caused energy prices in the European Union (EU) to skyrocket, forcing the bloc to seek more expensive alternative sources.
Germany - the EU's locomotive economy - is experiencing a serious recession, according to a warning from the ifo Economic Research Institute (Germany) last week.
American journalist Tucker Carlson is the first Western journalist to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out in February 2022.
Mr. Carlson is a highly appreciated host on American news channels, who is considered to have reached the peak of his decades-long career.
A California citizen, the son of an artist and journalist, he entered the media world in the 1990s, writing for several prestigious publications, including the New York Times, Esquire and The New Republic.
