Russia praises Trump for criticising Ukraine-NATO moves
In a press conference in January, before his inauguration, Trump directly blamed Biden's move to admit Ukraine as a NATO member for spurring the conflict.
"A big part of the problem was Russia for many, many years -- long before Putin -- said: 'You could never have NATO involved with Ukraine'," Trump told reporters at a press conference on January 7.
"And somewhere along the line, Biden said: 'No, they should be able to join NATO.' Well, then, Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I could understand their feeling about that."
