‘He works for Putin because he wants to lower me to the level of Putin,” the Zelensky told Piers Morgan on Tuesday.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Tucker Carlson for calling him a “dictator,” accusing him of repeating Vladimir Putin’s propaganda.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, Zelensky dismissed claims of suppressing opposition and defended Ukraine’s paused elections as necessary under martial law.

Criticizing Carlson’s pro-Kremlin rhetoric, he fumed, “It seems to me he needs to more deeply understand what’s happening in Ukraine, to stop working for Putin, to stop licking his ass.”

Zelensky insisted Ukraine is fighting to preserve democracy, not undermine it.

    Politics as entertainment keeps hitting new levels. A comedian-turned-president telling a journalist-turned-propagandist to stop brown-nosing an ex-KGB agent? Peak 2025 content right there.

    The martial law argument’s interesting—technically correct but conveniently timed. Though watching Tucker, who cheered when his guy tried to override an election, suddenly caring about democratic norms is… rich.

    Zelensky’s crude response plays well for headlines, but it’s the same social media politics we’ve been drowning in. Two media personalities trading barbs while real policy discussions happen in backrooms and procurement meetings.

    Meanwhile, defense contractors keep posting record profits. Funny how that works.
