Russian President Vladimir Putin informed former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the war in Ukraine would end “in weeks” if the US ceased supplying weapons.
Putin dismissed the idea of negotiating with President Joe Biden, stating that stopping weapon shipments would resolve the conflict.
He downplayed nuclear conflict concerns, labeling them as intimidation tactics.
Putin clarified that attacking Poland was only a possibility if Russia was provoked, emphasizing a reluctance to engage in a global war.
The interview lasted two hours, with Carlson choosing to conclude it.
Putin claimed peace talks were close to finalization but broke down after Russia withdrew troops from Kyiv.
Notably, he mentioned not speaking to Biden since before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, displacement, and destruction in Ukraine.
