I'm surprised he didn't speak english for the interview. Surely he is fluent in it?


He is, although his English is heavily accented. Putin Speaking English

He fully understands English and has been known to correct his translators. I think using the translators gives him an advantage as he can fully understand the questions posed to him in English, but he has additional time to formulate his answer as he waits for the translation.

He occasionally switched into English in his interviews with Oliver Stone. That was much more of a documentary than Tucker's interview but for those interested, check out The Putin Interviews from 2017. His speaking style and mannerisms were the same.
