Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday accused former Fox News host Tucker Carlson of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin, after he supposedly parroted the Kremlin’s talking points.

Carlson, who published an extensive exclusive interview with Putin last year, appeared to defend Russia in an appearance on Piers Morgan's show "Piers Morgan Uncensored" last week, where he claimed Zelensky was a dictator and that Russia had a right to try and control the Crimea.

Zelensky claimed that Carlson merely repeated Putin's words, even though he allegedly knew better, according to Mediaite.

Carlson had recently appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, during which he criticized Zelensky for what he called his persecution of political opponents and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, according to the outlet. 

“Regrettably, this blogger or journalist, whatever he wants to call him, he unfortunately fully repeats words of the Putin," Zelensky said. “He works for the Putin because he wants to lower me to the level of Putin. This is what he wants. He wants us to be equals.”

The Ukrainian president stated that Carlson needed to "stop working" for Putin and learn more about what was happening in Ukraine. 

"Honestly, it seems to me very important. It seems to me that the person, no matter where he lives, must understand things," Zelensky continued. "When he simply says something, you know, just throwing the words. Has he for one time in his lifetime lost his close ones? 

"I wish to his family, I do not know his family, I wish them peace and no losses, but one must have his own opinion and understand that he probably influences many people. He’s simply disinforming them, misinforming the people.”

Carlson has not commented on the accusation so far.
