With the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Saturday, Fox News‘ Bret Baier sat down with Volodymyr Zelensky for an interview on the front lines.
The fate of a U.S. aid package, now all but stalled in the House, was a centerpiece of the interview, but Baier also brought up former Fox News host Tucker Carlson‘s recent sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Baier asked Zelensky, “My former colleague Tucker Carlson recently traveled to Moscow and sat down for an interview with Vladimir Putin. Did you happen to see that or coverage of it?”
The Ukrainian leader responded, “I heard some messages in media, and, also, my guys who are advisers, they said. So I don’t have to do — I don’t have time to hear more than two hours of bullshit about us, about the world, about the United States, about our relations, and this interview with a killer. So I have got some briefly what were there.”
Carlson hosted the network’s most-watched primetime program until it was canceled last April. He has since launched his own online site, but the full Putin interview was posted for free on X/Twitter. The interview was widely panned for not challenging Putin, but Carlson has been critical of U.S. support for Ukraine.
The interview was Zelensky’s first on the front lines of the war with Russia, in what Baier described as a 700-mile trek across Ukraine. The interview took place in the town of Kupiansk, about a mile and a half from Russian forces, he said.
Zelensky told Baier that without U.S. aid, “we will have more and more such heroic guys who will be in the hospitals, because, if you don’t have a real defending shield and some similar powerful artillery with the rounds, of course, you will lose people.”

Madonna is in hot water after calling out a disabled fan in front of an entire STADIUM of people.
Madonna scolded a fan who wasn’t standing among the cheering crowd during her show Thursday in Los Angeles before realizing they were seated in a wheelchair.The “Like a Virgin” singer performed at the Kia Forum as part of her “Celebration Tour” when she made the embarrassing remark. “What are you doing sitting down over there? What are you getting sitting down?” Madonna asked, before walking to the edge of the stage to get a closer listen to the fan.
Madonna made a very public faux pas at a show on her ‘Celebration’ tour this week when she asked why a fan had remained seated, only to realise they were in a wheelchair. At a stop at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 7) as part of her extensive career-retrospective tour, the Queen of Pop was preparing to introduce her next song when a particular fan caught her eye.
Alexei Navalny’s sacrifice for democracy is being recognized in the place where the concept of government by the people first flourished.
Marvel Studios has been facing many difficulties with its next “Avengers” installment following the departure of director Destin Daniel Cretton, who left to focus on other Marvel projects (“Wonder Man” and the “Shang Chi” sequel).

Jon Stewart used his second episode back on The Daily Show to rip into Tucker Carlson’s trip to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin.The former Fox News anchor now has a show on his own network as well as X/Twitter, and last week he did a sit-down interview with the Russian president, the first Putin has given to a Western journalist since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.Responding to the interview, Stewart savaged Carlson for failing to challenge some of Putin’s assertions, and for disingenuously arguing that Russian citizens have an advantage over Americans because groceries are cheaper, something that Carlson claimed made him feel “radicalised”.“You’re such a dick,” Stewart retorted.“It will radicalise you, unless you understand basic economics,” he continued. “See, $104 for groceries sounds like a great bargain, unless you realise that Russians earn less than $200 dollars a week.”“But that’s the kind of context that a – what did you call yourself earlier – a journalist would’ve provided.
