Tucker Carlson has returned to Moscow to interview Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, while warning that Joe Biden is driving the US “ever closer” to all-out nuclear war with Russia.

Appearing in front of the Kremlin in a video posted on X on Wednesday morning, the former Fox News host said that the Biden’s administration’s policy towards Russia had reached its “apogee” in the weeks since Donald Trump’s election.

He said the US military personnel had fired missiles into mainland Russia, a reference to reports suggesting Western troops were required to help Kyiv launch US-supplied Atacms missiles across the border last month.

He went on to say that he had interviewed Moscow’s foreign minister in order to share the Russian perspective on the war and that the recording would be released “very soon”.

Mr Carlson said he had attempted to interview Volodymyr Zelensky, but that his efforts were “thwarted” by the US government who told the Ukrainian president he could not do it.

He interviewed Vladimir Putin in February, with the Russian leader giving a description of Slavic history since the founding of Kievan Rus’ in the 9th century as a response to why he ordered the Ukraine invasion.
