AI: In a previous interview, Tucker Carlson asked Putin to express his opinion on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Putin responded that his decision was due to the historical unity of Russia and Ukraine, as well as violations of promises made after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He also mentioned that NATO's eastward expansion was part of the problem. While many journalists and international relations experts have distorted the interview to eliminate any disagreement with the prevailing view that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was not related to NATO expansion, a detailed analysis of the interviews shows that Putin did talk about NATO expansion and his attitude towards the invasion.
