RT says the interview is done:

"Russian President Vladimir Putin met with US journalist Tucker Carlson on Tuesday for an interview, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a daily media briefing on Wednesday. The American had announced the imminent release of the footage hours earlier.

"Peskov declined to say when exactly the public will be able to see the interview and would not comment on its contents. He noted that being an American, Carlson was neither pro-Russian nor pro-Ukrainian in terms of his attitude to the Ukraine conflict, which is expected to be the focus of the interview.

"He pointed out that the interviewer’s position contrasts with that which dominates in Western media, which is why the Kremlin had granted his request. The Kremlin spokesman added, however, that Carlson is wrong when he claims that Western news outlets haven’t bothered to seek an interview with the Russian leader.

"Western mainstream media cannot claim “even the appearance of impartiality” on Ukraine and “all have a one-sided position,” Peskov explained. Moscow has “no desire” to communicate with them and doubts that anything good would come out of it, he said.

"Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that Carlson will likely publish his production on Thursday, citing “people familiar with the matter.”" https://www.rt.com/russia/591999-peskov-carlson-putin-interview/

I just don't see how Tucker's interview will move the dial in the Empire of Lies. "We all," meaning those of us who care enough to inform ourselves, already know the truth about Russia, NATO, and we respect what Putin has achieved. Many of us have heard Putin, Lavrov, Zakarova, etc, give us Russia's perspective. Moreover, Tucker's audience, as far as I know, have heard Tucker rail against this war for a while now. Personally, I'm surprised anyone on the MSM has made a stink about it...I'd assume the word has gone out to ignore it, and once it's out, downplay it as, "There goes that liar Putin again." It's the opposite of what they would have done with Trump had they not wanted him to be the nominee so that "Biden" had a opportunity to "win." Day after, MSM will either ignore it or spin their own interpretations for their believing or uncaring listeners. See? Here's a textbook example of misinformation! Who understands that Orc language, anyway?

Will the interview move the movers and shakers? My wife has been writing letters to Senator Genocide Gillebrand opposing aid to The Ukraine for the last 2 years, and just got a response letter, in which the first sentence, predictably, was based on "unprovoked invasion." It's like thinking that a mass killing of kindergardeners will move the dial on gun control, or a prime-time knilling (killing by kneeling) of an unarmed black man will lead to changes in policing, or a photo of a Zionist torturing a Palestinian will cause one instant of doubt in one mind of the Puppet Masters. I would like it to make a difference, but I think it's more Hopium. The West has already won--disconnected Germany from Russia, procured fat military contracts, and scared the Sheeple. Plan B is now some kind of insurgency, another win for the DeepState. "Losing the war" now is a win for them: They "stopped Putin," can exit, and blame it on Tucker, the Orange Himmler, and the Republicans....onto to China, while continuing to fund the mass murder of civilians "out of sight" via an insurgency. Jesus, even if Tucker brings down Biden, Blinken and Nud, what have we got...Trumpman or RFucKingJr? The rest of the world is what matters, and most of them know Putin. I'll paraphrase Dreizin: I'll support Joe Biden because he is destroying Merica's hegemon. Biden 2028!
