A row of residential buildings in Moscow could be seen engulfed in flames at the same time as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson was released.
The fire on the roof of a massive residential building in the Russian capital caused the upper floor of the building to collapse, according to state-owned media outlet Russia Today.

Videos of the emergency response posted to X show firefighters using helicopters attempting to extinguish the inferno. More than 400 people were evacuated from the residential building, according to the news source. The cause of the fire was unclear.
The blaze comes as Carlson released a lengthy interview with Putin, filmed in Moscow earlier this week. Prior to the release of the interview, several media analysts were skeptical over whether Carlson would press the Russian president on human rights matters, among other topics.
