Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently made a bold statement on the British show Piers Morgan Uncensored.
He responded to former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson, who had called him a "dictator" and claimed that he was following Putin’s rhetoric.
Zelensky was not happy with these accusations. He told Carlson to stop supporting Putin and to do more research about Ukraine, reports Ziare.
Carlson, who now has an online show, has been critical of Zelensky. On the same show, he questioned the Ukrainian president’s legitimacy.
He even accused the governments of the US and the UK of keeping Zelensky in power without allowing free elections.
In response, Zelensky pointed out that Carlson’s view on his leadership seemed influenced by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s perspective.
Zelensky said that Putin, who has been in power for over 20 years, is the real dictator.
He emphasized that Carlson's remarks were more about supporting Putin than understanding Ukraine's situation.
Zelensky's comments didn’t stop there. He told Carlson that he needed to be better informed about what was truly happening in Ukraine.
In fact, Zelensky harshly stated that Carlson should “stop working for Putin” and “stop licking his ass.”
Zelensky was frustrated by the American journalist’s lack of understanding and the way Carlson seemed to defend the Russian leader.
Carlson has visited Moscow several times and even interviewed officials close to Putin, which has fueled suspicions about his stance on Ukraine.
Zelensky’s message was clear. He is tired of being called a dictator, especially by someone who has shown support for the Russian regime.
His appeal for Carlson to educate himself more about Ukraine reflects the growing tension between those who support Ukraine’s sovereignty and those who align themselves with Russia’s views.
