Former Fox News host accuses Ukraine of blowing up the Kakhovka HPP. Kuleba calls him scoundrel

Carlson posted the first episode of his show on Twitter.

He said that the Russians weren’t interested in blowing up HPP, as the attack had done the most damage to the occupied territories. In addition, the ex-host compared the accident to the explosion at Nord Stream, which, according to Carlson, was also blown up by Ukrainians.

As of 3 p.m. on June 7, the video had nearly 60 million views and more than 10,000 reposts.

Celebrities who shared the propaganda video

A number of famous people shared the propaganda video.

Elon Musk retweeted Carlson's material as an example of "freedom of thought" on Twitter.

"It would be great to show all parts of the political spectrum on this platform!" the businessman wrote.

Russia's representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, didn’t ignore the propaganda video, saying that the former journalist "doesn’t believe Western and Ukrainian propaganda."

"Tucker Carlson apparently refuses to buy what Western and Ukrainian propaganda claim about Kakhovka dam destruction. Nor does he accept the way people are disinformed in the US about important domestic and international issues," the representative of the terrorist country commented.

Matt Gaetz, Florida Congressman also shared the video, modestly titled "Tucker Returns!"

Anna Paulina Luna, Congresswoman also shared the propagandist's video and added that Tucker "broke the internet," praising the high number of views.

Benny Johnson who is a blogger also retweeted the video, who admired the speed with which Carlson's video was spreading.

Ukraine's reaction

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister called Carlson a scoundrel.

"Carlson is just a scoundrel and a Ukrainophobe. He will continue to do his dirty work. Unfortunately, he can only be stopped, probably, by some large court fines for spreading lies. But this is a separate process," the ministry said on Snidanok 1+1.
