He highlighted that attempts to discuss the situation with Zelenskyy \u2063had been \u200dthwarted by the U.S.\u2062 government, suggesting an absence of communication\u2064 between \u2064U.S. and Russian officials.  <\/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\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Tucker Carlson said Tuesday that he returned to Russia for an interview with Russia&rsquo;s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, after the Biden administration blocked his efforts to interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n<p>In February, Carlson sat down with Russian leader Vladimir Putin for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-olivers-warning-to-meghan-markle-in-2018-goes-viral-after-controversial-oprah-interview\/\" title=\"John Oliver\u2019s Warning To Meghan Markle In 2018 Goes Viral After Controversial Oprah Interview\">controversial interview<\/a> in which Carlson was criticized for not pushing back against Putin&rsquo;s comments, including those about the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TuckerCarlson\/status\/1864092222091657502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post to X<\/a> on Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-warns-america-biden-administration-committing-evil-thing-ever-seen-lifetime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carlson<\/a> wrote, &ldquo;<span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">We&rsquo;re back in Moscow.

No official reports have been made saying that U.S. troops were directly involved.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So we are, unbeknownst to most Americans, in a hot war with Russia, an undeclared war, a war you did not vote for and that most Americans don&rsquo;t want, but it is ongoing,&rdquo; Carlson said.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson said the war has the potential to morph into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/russia-issues-warning-biden-crosses-putins-red-line-qualitatively-new-situation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nuclear holocaust<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Because of that war, because of the fact that the U.S. military is killing Russians in Russia right now, we are closer to nuclear war than at any time in history, far closer than we were during the Cuban Missile Crisis,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That would mean the elimination of Russia, the United States, and most of the rest of the world.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We felt there must be someone behind the scenes in Washington working to make sure that this conflict doesn&rsquo;t become a nuclear holocaust.

There is no back channel. There is no conversation. There hasn&rsquo;t been for more than two years. That&rsquo;s shocking,&rdquo; Carlson said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Meanwhile, most Americans have no access to any perspective other than that granted to them by NBC News and The New York Times. They don&rsquo;t know how close we are. They don&rsquo;t know the Russian perspective. We&rsquo;ve been trying for over a year to get that perspective out to American news consumers,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson said the Biden administration has prevented him from talking to Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve also tried for over a year to get an interview with Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine. We&rsquo;ve attacked that from a bunch of different angles. We&rsquo;ve spoken to a lot of different people around him, had dinner with them,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been in talks continuously. And those efforts have been thwarted by the U.S. government. The American embassy in Kyiv, which our tax dollars pay for, told the Zelenskyy government, &lsquo;No, you may not do the interview. You can talk to CNN. You can&rsquo;t talk to us.&rsquo; So we&rsquo;ve been unable to speak to him,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson said the interview with Lavrov touches on the war in Ukraine and whether there is a way to change the course of history that is unfolding as President-elect Donald Trump enters the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Russian Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova said Lavrov and Carlson talked for about 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The emphasis was placed on the modern, current history of our difficult relations with the United States, the impact of all this on world geopolitics, the possibilities of the future state of affairs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-administration-squeezes-significant-new-military-assistance-ukraine-trump-takes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ukraine<\/a> and other issues were raised,&rdquo; she said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/carlson-lavrov-russia-interview-return-1995255\">Newsweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
