Read previewRussian President Vladimir Putin told Russian state TV presenter Pavel Zarubin that he expected tougher questions from Tucker Carlson, seemingly trolling the former Fox News host.
Putin, for his part, "didn't get complete satisfaction" from the interview, according to Politico EU's translation.
Putin's chief complaint was that he expected more "sharp" questions from Carlson, a commentator who at Fox News previously defended Russia.
Carlson was the first Western journalist to interview Putin since the invasion of Ukraine two years ago.
An attorney for Carlson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
