In it, he talks about the fact that Ukraine blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.
Video full of manipulations and distortions. However, in 6 hours – more than 38 million views, and they are growing at an incredible rate.

Among other videos distributed to themselves by Elon Musk, conservative American bloggers with a million-strong audience, MAGA-Republicans in Congress, and Russia’s representative to the UN.
Voice of America journalist Ostap Yarysh commented on the video from the American propagandist:
At the same time, some are trying to dispel the thesis that it is not clear who is responsible for the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. Maybe it’s the Russians, maybe the Ukrainians, or maybe the dam broke on its own.
Here are satellite images, here is an opinion of some expert, and here is a blurry video from a telegram, and here is a statement from an anonymous official from last year. In general, no one knows what really happened.
All this reminds me very much of the information noise that Russia and its fans tried to create after the downing of MH17.
Spread dozens of different versions and speculations, confuse, fill in the fog, so that in the end people get lost in it and lose their understanding of what is true and what is not.
And so it seems that these efforts are now very intensified – especially for the English-speaking audience. The information war continues.
Tucker Carlson in the United States received the image of an anti-vaccinator, a sympathizer of Donald Trump and Putin, a supporter of conspiracy theories.
