The plot to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin and discussions on the subject are a crime and a serious threat to global security. This was warned by Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of the State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament), TASS reports.
"The plot to assassinate Putin, the very discussion of it is a crime, a serious threat to global security, a direct path to nuclear war. All international institutions should consider it as a basis for investigation," he wrote in "Telegram."
In his words, against the backdrop of the current severe confrontation, Russian society must "understand the level of challenges and threats we face, and therefore realize our own responsibility."
Tucker Carlson claims that the Joe Biden administration was considering the assassination of Putin. The American journalist said that in general, the US authorities intend to enter into a suicidal confrontation with Moscow. In particular, former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken "insisted so strongly on a real war" between the US and Russia in his last two months in office.
In July 2024 The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that there had been attempts to assassinate the Russian president, but all of them were unsuccessful. He did not provide details.
The Kremlin assured that Putin's security was guaranteed at the necessary level.
Tucker Carlson was the first American journalist to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin since the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
