Carlson’s interview sparks debate over Ukraine conflict narratives

Despite its stance that it is not at war with the West, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Moscow intends to defend itself by “all means.”

In a sit-down interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Lavrov highlighted the recent use of a hypersonic missile as a strong indicator of Russia’s intentions.

This statement comes after the White House approved Ukraine’s use of American longer-range missiles for strikes on Russian territory—a move that marked a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict.
