Interview Marks President Zelenskyy’s First
Sit-Down from the Frontlines Since the War Started in 2022
FOX News Channel’s (FNC) chief political anchor and executive
editor of Special Report Bret Baier will present an exclusive
interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday,
February 22nd at 6 PM/ET from Ukraine.
Airing on Special Report, the interview will mark the first time
Zelenskyy has been interviewed at the frontlines of combat since
the war started on February 24, 2022. Taking place less than a mile
and a half from Russian positions, Baier will speak with the
president about the two-year anniversary of the war, the debate in
Congress on additional funding to Ukraine and the latest
developments in the ongoing conflict. He will also travel with the
president as he receives a military briefing, presents medals to
some of his troops and visits wounded soldiers in the hospital.
Additionally, Baier will spotlight the team of FOX News
correspondents who have covered the war since the lead up to the
invasion through today in which he will honor his colleagues
Benjamin Hall, Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleksandra Kuvshynova who were
hit by a Russian projectile while covering the start of the war.
Tragically, the attack killed Zakrzewski and Kuvshynova while
catastrophically injuring Hall.
On Friday, February 23rd, Special Report will present a segment
documenting the impact of the war through interviews with
Ukrainians on the ground. He will also feature what life is like in
the war-torn country, with a focus on the capital city of Kyiv.
Notably, Hall, along with Jerusalem-based correspondent Trey
Yingst, will join Baier on Friday to discuss the challenges in
covering the war in Ukraine and importance of on the ground
reporting from conflict zones.
Throughout his 27-year tenure with the network, Baier has
reported from 74 countries conducting numerous interviews with
world leaders, sitting presidents, politicians and celebrities.
Most recently he traveled to Saudi Arabia in September 2023 to
interview Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which was followed by
an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has
previously interviewed President Zelenskyy multiple times since the
Russian invasion including most recently in December 2023.
As chief political anchor, Baier has played a critical role in
every major political event since he joined the network. Most
recently, he co-anchored special coverage of the 2024 New Hampshire
Primary and Iowa Caucuses alongside Martha MacCallum. In January
2024, he co-moderated three back-to-back town halls with MacCallum
featuring 2024 GOP presidential candidates former President Donald
Trump, former Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, and Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis. In August 2023, he co-moderated the first
Republican Presidential Primary Debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
alongside Martha MacCallum, which was watched by 13 million
viewers, making it the highest-rated non-sports telecast of the
year. Special Report averaged 2.1 million viewers in 2023, ranking
among the top five programs in cable news.
