«Russia will never be defeated in Ukraine and NATO must accept our territorial gains» .

This is the message to the West from Vladimir Putin , who in a two-hour interview with the controversial former Fox news anchor and Donald Trump supporter, Tucker Carlson, had his say not only on the conflict with Kiev but also on the future of relations with the United States, opening up to a possible release of Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, arrested in Russia almost a year ago, and ensuring that Moscow has no intention of invading its neighbors.

“Russia's defeat in Ukraine is impossible by definition,” the tsar declared in what, more than an interview, was one of his classic monologues with few questions.

«We can never lose, NATO now accepts our territorial gains. The peace plans were almost finalized, but Kiev threw them away and obeyed the West's orders to fight to the last."

Putin is sure: "Sooner or later an agreement will be reached." And he promises, there will be no extension of the war, «we have no interest, the invasion of Poland or Latvia is out of the question. Only in one case would I send troops, if Poland attacked Russia."

Finally he sends a message to the US Congress which in recent days must approve the law on financing for Ukraine: "I say to the US leadership, if you really want the war to end, stop supplying weapons" .
