WASHINGTON, February 21 American journalist Tucker Carlson in an interview with Blaze, he said that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked him for a million dollars for an interview explaining his position on the conflict in Ukraine.
Carlson called Johnson the man who in 2022, “on behalf of the US government with his own hands,” torpedoed the Russian-Ukrainian peace agreements and, because of this, “is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.”
The journalist said that he sent a request to Johnson after the retired politician called him a “tool of the Kremlin” for an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. At first, according to the journalist, he was refused, but then they put forward financial conditions.
«Eventually one of his advisers came back to me and said, 'He'll talk to you, but it will cost a million dollars.' He wants a million in US dollars, gold or bitcoins.» This happened just yesterday, two days ago,» Carlson said.
«»I just interviewed Vladimir Putin. I'm not defending Putin, but Putin didn't ask me for a million dollars. So you're telling me that Boris Johnson is a much more slippery and unpleasant guy than Vladimir Putin, which is in fact yes,» he added.
Carlson spoke about the $60 billion in additional aid to Ukraine being discussed in Washington. This amount, he said, does not allow one to defeat Russia and represents a money laundering operation involving many people.
«If you're profiting from war, then you have to deal with God about it, because it's truly immoral, it's actually very, very wrong. Many people, including Boris Johnson,» he said.
