"Mr. Carlson is wrong," Peskov said during his daily briefing for reporters. "We receive many requests for interviews with the president."
Carlson's assertion was astonishing given that two journalists who are U.S. citizens are now jailed in Russia: Evan Gershkovich, of The Wall Street Journal, who was accused of espionage and seized by Federal Security Service agents last year during a reporting trip to Yekaterinburg, and Alsu Kurmasheva, of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's who has dual U.S. and Russian citizenship and who was arrested in October while visiting Russia from Prague where she had been living.
