Zelensky sat down for a long interview with Piers Morgan on Tuesday. It was mostly a sedate affair, unlike the contentious interview Morgan had with Tucker Carlson a few days ago. When Piers Morgan brought up some of Tucker Carlson’s criticisms of Zelensky and U.S. funding of weapons for the war, Zelensky’s comments grew more agitated and he stopped sounding as much like a politician.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Tucker Carlson for calling him a “dictator” who has banned free elections, telling Piers Morgan on Tuesday that the former Fox News star should “stop licking” Vladimir Putin’s “a**” and “stop working” for the Russian leader.
The fiery comeback from the president of Ukraine, which has been at war with Russia for nearly three years, followed Carlson’s tense appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored last week that featured the far-right pundit firing off a number of accusations about Zelensky.
“The first trait of a dictator is that he is not elected,” Carlson exclaimed while mocking Morgan’s support of the Ukraine leader. “Zelensky is not elected. He has also banned a religious denomination, killed his political opponents, and banned a language group. To me, these all seem like traits of a dictatorship. The governments of the USA and the UK support this dictator.”
