EU: No discussions on sanctions against Carlson
There are currently no talks within the EU about imposing sanctions on the American right-wing media profile Tucker Carlson. That's what Peter Stano, spokesperson for the EU's foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell, says, according to AFP.
He adds at the same time:
- It is not up to us to predict or speculate whether one or more member states will propose that someone be put on the sanctions list.
Every new addition to the list needs to be approved by all 27 members, Stano continues.
The statement comes after several EU parliamentarians said they want to target Carlson with sanctions after the interview with Vladimir Putin. One of them is Belgian Guy Verhofstadt, who in a statement to Newsweek yesterday called Carlson "Putin's mouthpiece".

Ukrainians about Carlson:"A cheated piece ofshit"
The Kyiv Post has asked several Ukrainians what they think about the fact that the American media profiler Tucker Carlson has interviewed Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Many react with disgust.
- Does Tucker Carlson understand that the devil's message [...] legitimizes hell on earth? says 28-year-old Maksym to the newspaper.
34-year-old Olga from Kharkiv wonders if Carlson is really a real journalist - and if he is, his next stop should be Ukraine.
- [He can] spend the night in a house completely destroyed by Russian robots for a complete, multi-faceted experience.
34-year-old Alex does not mince words about what he thinks of Carlson and calls him, among other things, a "deceived piece of shit".

Carlson's interview with Putin will be broadcast Friday night
The American conservative media profile Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be broadcast at midnight Friday night, Swedish time. This is clear from Carlson's website.
Carlson has received a lot of criticism for his choice to interview Putin. Among other things, he has been called a "useful idiot" and sources within the EU Parliament have stated that he may be subject to sanctions.
Carlson is the first Western media profile to interview Putin since the large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has justified the decision by saying that Carlson differs from other Western media.
Last year, Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News. According to TT, he is strongly against US military support for Ukraine and has, among other things, spread conspiracy theories about covid-19 and the storming of the Capitol.
