‘He works for Putin because he wants to lower me to the level of Putin,” the Zelensky told Piers Morgan on Tuesday.

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.

    So if you understand why Zelenskyy would feel that way about Carlson, what point were you trying to make with your comment?

          It’s the same. The coverage by media has been overwhelmingly on Ukraine’s side, but he seem like he can’t manage one of the few “journalists” that favor Putin.

            On Ukraine’s “side”?

            And what side would that be? Let’s be explicit about it.

            Please explain to everyone what the two “sides” are in this conflict, and why they both deserve attention and support

              Nah, I don’t have your time and you are not everyone, not even Lemmy is. I said my piece and it is clear: Zelensky wants media to back him uniformly, and goes aggressive with those who don’t.
