Former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, says he will 'soon' interview Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Carlson said he wanted to do the interview because 'Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they are implicated in'.
It would be Mr Putin's first one-on-one interview with a Western journalist since he launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The Kremlin has not yet commented.
'There are risks to doing an interview like this, obviously, so we've thought about it over many months,' Carlson said on his announcement video.
Exactly when the interview will take place is unclear, but Carlson said it would be uploaded live and unedited to his X account. Elon Musk, who owns the platform, has 'promised not to suppress or block the interview'.
Tucker Carlson was one of America's top-rated cable TV hosts - but he abruptly left Fox News last year.
