American podcaster and blogger Lex Fridman announced that he will travel to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin. He shared this in an interview with comedian and commentator Joe Rogan on January 22.
Fridman acknowledged the risks associated with his plans but emphasized his goal of contributing to peace efforts.
“There’s probably a lot to say about this war. I should say that I interviewed Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and I will be traveling to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin. I’m aware of the risks, I accept the risks, and the goal, the mission, is to just push for peace, to do my small part in pushing for peace,” Fridman stated.
Previously, Lex Fridman, a podcast host known for his long-form interviews on science, politics, and culture, arrived in Kyiv for his interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
On January 5, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed deep concerns about the prospect of a ceasefire with Russia without robust security guarantees for Ukraine in an interview with Lex Fridman.
