US President says he does not know for sure who controls the situation in Donbas

US President Donald Trump has said that he is yet to study the situation in Ukraine. He said this in his interview for Fox News TV channel.

“We don’t know for sure yet what is going on there,” the President said.

Trump said no answering if he was offended by the fact that the situation in the Eastern Ukraine escalated after his telephone talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

At the same time Trump noted in response to the anchor’s retort that the situation escalated because of “violence of pro-Russian forces”, that in the USA they don’t know for sure if the forces in Eastern Ukraine are controlled by Russia, but promised to find that out.

Earlier it was reported that Presidents Donald Trump and Petro Poroshenko have held a telephone conversation. The team of Ukrainian guarantor noted that this conversation had a slight tone of "victory."
