Tucker Carlson Interviews Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Discusses Ukraine, NATO, and Global Tensions

In a comprehensive interview with Tucker Carlson, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov provided his perspective on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Russia's strained relations with the United States, and the broader geopolitical implications of these tensions.

Lavrov rejected the notion that the United States and Russia are formally at war but described the situation in Ukraine as a "hybrid war." He emphasized that U.S. involvement, particularly through the provision of advanced weapons like ATACMS, has escalated the conflict.
