Ukraine has conducted an incursion into Russia and now occupies Sudzha, a small city of about 5,000 in the Kursk region.
We don’t know where the Ukrainian military will go from here as they don’t have the resources to march to Moscow (and probably not the desire) and this isn’t a move to conquer Russia, but to save Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated they will offer humanitarian aid to the residents of Sudzha. On the other side, Russian President Vladimir Putin has murdered nearly 20,000 Ukrainian citizens.
Zelensky said, “The more Russian military presence is destroyed in the border regions, the closer peace and real security will be for our state. The Russian state must be responsible for what it has done.”
Ukraine has conducted previous raids into Russia during this war Putin started with an illegal invasion justified with lies, but this is the first time foreign troops have invaded and held Russian territory since Nazi Germany in World War II.
Putin claims this invasion was only conducted by Ukraine “with the help of its masters” to improve its position in negotiations to end the war. How dare Ukraine defend itself. He also accused Ukraine of indiscriminately murdering Russian citizens which is rich coming from the guy who’s bombed schools, homes, and playgrounds, and children hospitals.
I expect to hear more lies and propaganda from Putin about the war he started…and maybe he’ll send talking point orders to his useful idiot and fake journalist here in the States, Tucker Carlson.
Last February, Tucker went to Russia to conduct a fake interview with Putin and praised himself, stating that “not a single Western journalist has bothered to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin.” Except real journalists have requested interviews with Putin which he refused. In fact, Wall Street Journal reporter and recently released Russian hostage, Evan Gershkovich asked Putin for an interview.
Question: How can you be expected to conduct a real interview when you lie about the interview, Tucker? Keep in mind that Tucker is a guy who was fired by Fox News for lying, Or course, after Tucker’s lies cost them $787.5 million.
Tucker scored an “interview” with Putin because he’s not a real journalist. Tucker interviewing Putin is the equivalent of Elon Musk interviewing Donald Trump. It’s propaganda.
Tucker conducted this interview inside Russia while two American journalists were being held in Putin’s gulags, Gershkovich and Alsu Kermasheva. Over 1,000 journalists had fled Russia after the start of Putin’s war as he made actual reporting illegal, but Tucker got the red carpet treatment.
If Tucker was a real journalist and had actually gotten an interview with Putin, he would have been tossed out of a window in the middle of asking the first question.
Tucker has been a longtime defender and excuse maker for Putin while also championing facism. The irony is that Tucker lies for Putin from the safety of a nation that has freedom of the press. Tucker will never understand that.
Meanwhile, portions of Tucker’s shows (which are not on Fox News anymore) are aired by Russia state media.
If Tucker thinks so highly of Russia and believes it’s better than the United States, then why doesn’t he move there?
