Trump friend Tucker Carlson has once again traveled to Moscow after the interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow in February.
This time, he met with Foreign Minister Lavrov, who chose to repeat Putin's threats against countries that have supported Ukraine in the Russian war of aggression.
We are sending signals and we hope that the latest signal, sent a few weeks ago, with the new weapons system called Oresjnik, was taken seriously.
"They must understand"
The ballistic missile, which is believed to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons, was used in an attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The attack has been seen as an escalation in light of Russia adopting a new nuclear doctrine, where the threshold for using nuclear weapons has been lowered.
They must understand that we would be ready to use all means to not allow them to succeed with what they call a strategic defeat for Russia, says Lavrov in the over one-hour-long interview published at midnight.
Lavrov further claimed that Ukraine cannot use American Atacms missiles without the help of American personnel and called what is happening in Ukraine a "hybrid war".
Campaigned with Trump
Tucker Carlson became in February the first Western journalist that Moscow approved for an interview with Putin since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The interview was criticized in Western media for the lack of critical questions.
Carlson was previously a well-known profile at American Fox News, but was fired in April last year. During the election campaign, Carlson campaigned together with the US President-elect Donald Trump.
