The Kremlin responded to Tucker Carlson's claim about an assassination attempt on Putin.

Peskov was asked to comment on Carlson's statements regarding the claim that the assassination attempt on Putin was orchestrated by the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden. The Kremlin refrained from discussing the matter in detail or mentioning Washington, according to reports from Russian news agencies.

In his latest episode of the podcast, former Fox host Carlson claimed that the Biden administration was preparing an assassination attempt on Putin. He did not provide any details or disclose the sources of his information, but described the alleged preparation as "madness." He did not clarify whether Biden himself was aware of any potential plans. Washington has not commented on his remarks.

The television host interviewed Putin in February of last year and conducted an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in December. Critics have repeatedly accused the journalist of spreading conspiracy theories.
