Just as Berlin and Washington outlined how a deal would work, Moscow was dealing with an unexpected new interlocutor, Tucker Carlson.

The former Fox News host was hammering out terms for an interview with Putin for his new straight-to-social-media talk show. Carlson told the president’s aides that he planned to request Putin free Gershkovich on the spot, during the interview. If all went well, he would fly home with Evan on his flight. An official close to Putin told the TV host it would be a “great idea” and could generate a positive response.

Near the end of his two-hour conversation, Carlson pushed his point: “This guy is obviously not a spy, he’s just a kid.”

“He’s being held hostage in exchange…Maybe it degrades Russia to do that.”

Putin demurred, then specified publicly for the first time the person he wanted in return: “a person serving a sentence in an allied country of the U.S.,” he said, leaning forward with an eyebrow arched.

After the interview, as Putin led Tucker on a tour of the Kremlin that stretched near midnight, the TV commentator returned their conversation to Gershkovich: “Why are you doing this?…It’s hurting you.”

Putin complained the problem lay in Washington. Russia had made its demand for the reporter clear, he said. Putin lamented that America didn’t do more to bring home its alleged spies.
