> Is there someone you think _could_ interview Putin responsibly?

No, and no one should, see next answer.

> Implicitly being the key word here and is certainly subjective. If the body of evidence you're presenting is "would interview Putin" and "spoke Russian to Zelensky", I don't find that convincing.

"Would interview Putin" implies "is willing to provide a huge international platform for a terrorist and still-active mass murderer who is best known for his effective propaganda of peoples' minds". If you do not find that convincing, you are not alone at all. This has been the objective of Russia all along.
