Putin stated that he did not get "full satisfaction" from interview Carlson (video)

According to the Russian President, he allegedly waited from an American journalist to "sharp questions" to "also acutely answer". The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin commented on his interview with American journalist Tair Carlson, noting that the conversation was not as expected. The President of the Russian Federation said in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin on February 15. Putin said Carlson is a "dangerous person".

According to the politician, he was waiting for the journalist to "behave aggressively" during an interview, as well as to ask "sharp questions". "I was not just ready for it, I wanted it, because it would give me the opportunity to answer just as much that, in my opinion, I would give some specificity to our whole conversation. But he chose another tactic," Putin said.

The President of the Russian Federation also stated that Carlson made an attempt to interrupt him several times, but in general was "patient". He noted that the journalist listened to his long speeches about history and did not let him do "what he was ready for. " "Therefore, frankly, I did not get a full pleasure of this interview," Putin summed up.

For his part, the American Politico portal in his publication of February 15 pointed out that Carlson was known for his positive attitude towards Russia, as well as a "tendency to melt to autocrats. " Nevertheless, the publication believes that if Putin really wanted to answer "sharp questions", the Kremlin would not choose Carlson for his first interview with a Western journalist.
