Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Tucker Carlson for calling him a “dictator,” accusing him of repeating Vladimir Putin’s propaganda.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, Zelensky dismissed claims of suppressing opposition and defended Ukraine’s paused elections as necessary under martial law.

Criticizing Carlson’s pro-Kremlin rhetoric, he fumed, “It seems to me he needs to more deeply understand what’s happening in Ukraine, to stop working for Putin, to stop licking his ass.”

Zelensky insisted Ukraine is fighting to preserve democracy, not undermine it.

    Three years ago all media was licking Zelensky’s ass. Now he’s furious because one “journalist” is doing Putin instead.

      I think I’d also be pretty pissed if someone was using their substantial media platform to run cover for the murderous empire invading my country

      Weird. I wonder if anyone has any ideas why people would sympathize with the leader of a nation invaded by an aggressive expansionistic neighbour.

      Giving “everything I don’t like is woke” energy. That’s cute.
