Trump blames Biden administration for provoking Putin to invade Ukraine

Trump said this in an interview with Real America's Voice, Newsweek reports.

According to him, the rhetoric of the White House a few months before the invasion of Ukraine contributed to Putin's decision.

"They were actually mocking him, if you really look at it. Our country and our so-called leadership were mocking Putin. I said they were almost forcing him to do what they were talking about. The rhetoric was so dumb," Trump said.

He also emphasized once again that the  Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine would never have happened if he had remained in the post of US president.
