MOSCOW. Jan 23 (Interfax) - U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks on the mistakes made by the previous U.S. administration in the Ukrainian crisis context suggest the need to correct these mistakes, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
"Advisors to presidential candidate Trump, advisors to President-elect and sworn-in President Trump, as well as U.S. President Donald Trump himself have said on numerous occasions that the previous U.S. administration, the Biden administration, Biden personally, and the U.S. foreign political establishment, have made mistakes in Ukraine," Zakharova told the press when asked to comment on Trump's statement about the need to make a deal on Ukraine.
Russia views "what the Biden administration has done in many areas as both mistakes and crimes," Zakharova said.
"Mistakes made by the former administration were not personal but national," she said.
"What should be done to mistakes made on behalf of a country or in the course of governing a country? They should be corrected. So, considering that the incumbent administration of President Trump has repeatedly said, admitted and given arguments in favor of the opinion that the Ukraine situation is a result of mistakes of the previous administration, I believe that, probably, the mistakes of the previous administration should be corrected," Zakharova said.
"This is the logic of statements made in the United States," she said.
