WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Last week, an exclusive interview between the former Fox News host and the Russian leader was published, during which the interlocutors discussed a variety of topics, including the conflict in Ukraine, Moscow's relations with the Western world, anti-Russian sanctions and much more.
Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks a resolution in the Ukraine conflict but remains skeptical about increased openness to negotiation as the duration of the conflict persists, journalist Tucker Carlson said on Monday.

"Putin wants to get out of this war, he's not going to become more open to negotiation the longer this goes on," Carlson said during an interview at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.

The remarks were in response to Egyptian journalist Emad Eldin Adeeb's question about Putin's reluctance to compromise amid Western efforts to escalate tension, exert pressure, and weaken Russia economically and its alliance with China.

"One of the things we've learned in the course of the last few years is that Russia's industrial capacity is a lot more profound than we thought it was... This country [Russia], we're assured was a gas station with nuclear weapons, has a pretty easy time making missiles, rockets, and artillery shells," Carlson added.
