American journalist Tucker Carlson is in Moscow with reported plans to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

MEP Urmas Paet stated that Carlson wants to give a platform to someone accused of crimes of genocide, and for such propaganda for a criminal regime, one can end up on the list of sanctions, primarily a travel ban to EU countries.
MEP Guy Verhofstadt stated that as Putin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine Carlson's case.
Former MEP Luis Garicano stated that Carlson is no longer a newsman, but a propagandist for the most heinous regime on European soil and the one which is most dangerous to peace and security.
The Federation Council voted on Feb. 7 in support of a bill that broadens the range of crimes punishable by asset confiscations, including for people convicted of 'discrediting' or spreading 'fake news' about the Russian military.
