Claims About Plans to Assassinate Putin Must be Thoroughly Investigated - Russia's Volodin

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Tucker Carlson's statement that the administration of former US President Joe Biden was preparing to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin must be thoroughly investigated, Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Carlson, without giving details, said that the Biden administration had been "trying to kill" Putin. At the same time, Carlson did not provide details or any evidence for his claims: when and where this could have happened, as well as other circumstances of preparation for a possible assassination attempt.

"Tucker Carlson's claims must be thoroughly investigated, and Biden and [former US State Secretary Antony] Blinken must be brought to justice. We all need to realize that a fierce struggle is being waged against Russia. We all must understand the scale of the challenges and threats we face. This means that we need to feel our responsibility," Volodin said on Telegram.
