Zelensky Hits Back at Carlson’s Accusations

In a heated exchange on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a forceful response to Tucker Carlson, who had recently accused him of ruling Ukraine like a dictator.

The Ukrainian leader didn’t hold back as he blasted the political commentator for spreading claims about him silencing Russian-speaking citizens and allegedly eliminating political opponents.

Zelensky’s Fiery Response

The controversy began after Carlson, a well-known critic of the U.S. involvement in Ukraine, suggested that Zelensky had been unlawfully holding onto power and using oppressive measures.

Zelensky, visibly upset, slammed Carlson, calling him a “mouthpiece” for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He even urged Carlson to “stop working for Putin, stop licking his a**,” in a moment that made his frustration clear.

Zelensky’s strong words followed Carlson’s allegations that Zelensky’s government had resorted to extreme methods to maintain control, including silencing opposition voices and committing violent acts against critics.
