Russian media heaped praise on President Vladimir Putin on Friday after his interview with right-wing U.S. talk show host Tucker Carlson.
Many articles, particularly in state and pro-Kremlin outlets, focused on the reach and potential impact of the 127-minute interview released in prime time in the US on Thursday evening.
Carlson had conducted the interview with the Russian president in Moscow on Tuesday. The interview was put on Carlson's website and the platform X, formerly Twitter.
