Russia's state television airing clips from Carlson's show comes months after he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking first Kremlin interview with a US-based journalist from the beginning of the war in Ukraine. During the interview, Putin claimed that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine had “an element of civil war”, as Putin had previously stated that the people of Russia and Ukraine are “one people”.

Putin later claimed that he did not get “full satisfaction” from his interview with Carlson, as he expected the talk show host to act more “aggressively” toward him and ask him “so-called sharp questions.” The Kremlin noted that it was surprised by Carlson's patience in the interview, which it did not expect from “a Western journalist.”
In December, Carlson was launched its own streaming platform called the Tucker Carlson Network, which includes free-to-watch interviews and other interviews locked with a monthly subscription.
