The FBI should investigate who is spreading Russian propaganda in the White House, a senior Ukrainian MP has said, after President Trump described a Russian ballistic missile strike which killed at least 34 people as a “mistake”.

Oleksandr Merezhko, chairman of the Ukrainian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, said that Trump’s assertion with regard to the attack on the northern Ukrainian city of Sumy was “preposterous”.

“It’s like saying that 9/11 was just a ‘mistake’ by al-Qaeda,” he said. “It a very disturbing statement by Trump which both encourages Putin to continue atrocities and demonstrates that someone in Trump’s entourage is pushing Russian narratives.

“I believe that the FBI should investigate who in Trump’s entourage is spreading Russian propaganda. It’s dangerous.
