Zelenskyy has\u200b expressed concerns about being abandoned after the election. \u2064The text also includes a message from the staff of The Western \u200cJournal about the importance of the upcoming 2024\u200d election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/russdavis\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/russdavis\/%20\"><span>Jack Davis<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   July 3, 2024 at 4:31pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Tucker Carlson announced on Wednesday that he will interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson announced the interview in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tuckercarlson\/status\/1808606839694561474?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post on X<\/a>, suggesting it was the counterpoint to his interview with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooks like we\u2019ve got the Zelenskyy interview.
