U.S. President Donald Trump blames his predecessor, Barack Obama, for giving away a part of Ukraine.

"I'm the one that gave Ukraine offensive weapons and tank killers. Obama didn't. You know what he sent? He sent pillows and blankets. I'm the one-- and he's the one that gave away a part of Ukraine," Trump said in an interview with CBS News.

The U.S. President denied he allegedly never say anything harsh about Vladimir Putin. "I think I'm very tough with him personally. I had a meeting with him. The two of us. It was a very tough meeting and it was a very good meeting," Trump said.

He acknowledged that Russians had interfered in the 2016 campaign election adding that China had meddled too.

When asked whether he agrees that Vladimir Putin is involved in assassinations and poisonings, the American leader said: “Probably, he is.” At the same time Trump noted that happened not in the United States.
