<p>Popular US conservative journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed that the US government was blocking his attempts to interview Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for over a year. Carlson published a video on social media platform X Wednesday (Dec 4), in which he revealed he was back in Moscow to talk with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He further added in the same video that he had been trying to contact Zelensky to interview him, but the US embassy in Kyiv had ‘told him not to talk to us.’</p>

<p>Carlson said his team "has attacked that from a bunch of different angles. We have spoken to a lot of different people around him, had dinner with them. We have been in talks continuously."</p>

<p>"And those efforts have been thwarted by the US government. The American Embassy in Kiev, which our tax dollars pay for, told the Zelensky government: No, you may not do the interview. You can talk to CNN. You cannot talk to us," Carlson alleged.</p>
