RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has used an interview with former Fox News television presenter Tucker Carlson to urge Washington to persuade Ukraine to enter peace talks.
The two-hour interview was released on Thursday as the war in Ukraine nears the two-year mark.
Mr Putin repeated his claim that “the special military operation” was necessary to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine and prevent the country from posing a threat to Russia by joining Nato.
