European Parliament members are urging an EU entry prohibition on American TV personality Tucker Carlson for his interview with Vladimir Putin.
Since Russia’s full invasion two years ago, Western outlets have unsuccessfully pursued a Putin interview. The decision to provide Carlson access raises questions. Some speculate it links to rumors Moscow wants peace talks.
In the view of Members of the European Parliament, giving a platform to someone accused of war crimes crosses ethical lines and enables propaganda.
“As Putin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine his case as well,”former Belgian PM and current MEP Guy Verhofstadt toldNewsweek.
This week Carlson visited Russia, and on Tuesday stated he would soon publish an interview with the Russian president. Per the Wall Street Journal, it is set to air on the evening of 8 February. Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has confirmed the interview already took place.
