Trump believes that Ukraine itself provoked russian strikes

US President Donald Trump expressed the opinion that Ukraine provoked the russian strikes by carrying out special operation Spider Web.

The head of the White House stated this during a conversation with journalists aboard Air Force One.

Answering a journalist's question about whether special operation Spider Web changed his opinion about what trump cards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has, Trump said that it gave russian ruler vladimir putin a reason to bomb Ukrainian cities.

"Well, they gave putin a reason to go and give them a hell of a bombing last night. That's what I didn't like about it. When I saw it, I said: 'That's it. Now there's going to be a strike,'" Trump said.
