Tucker Carlson, a popular US journalist and former Fox News personality, has made shocking claims saying that the United States attempted to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin when Joe Biden was the US President. The allegation was made in the latest episode of "The Tucker Carlson Show." However, no concrete evidence was given to substantiate the allegations. The statement from Carlson has attracted reactions, including that of Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. In his response Peskov asserted that the Russian president is well protected from potential threats. He said that the Russian special services take all the necessary measures to ensure public safety and the safety of all those under state protection.

Another reaction came from Russian Parliament Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who adopted a more aggressive tone, implying that any attempt to assassinate Putin would have led to catastrophic consequences, including a potential nuclear war. 

In his Telegram post, Volodin said that the plot to assassinate Putin, or even mere discussion of it, is a crime, as he asserted that it comes as a threat to global security. He urged international institutions to view it as a basis for an investigation. He also urged the Russian people to understand the gravity of the situation and the challenges their country is facing.
