On Monday, Russian newspaper Izvestia published a video of Carlson responding to whether he would possibly interview Putin.

"We'll see," Carlson told the person behind the camera.

When the individual pointed out that news of his visit to Russia "blew up" in the United States, Carlson said: "They're crazy, really crazy."

"I love [Moscow]; it's a beautiful city," Carlson told the individual, after learning he was from the Russian capital.

Carlson was the host of Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight from 2016 to 2023, before he was fired by the network last April with no official explanation given by his employer.
