president's call with ukraine
and his characterization of the
ukraine policy.
>> we were very clear.
we wanted to make sure that the
corruption that had been
existing in ukraine for a very
long time was reduced.
then this president wanted to
make sure too that vladimir
putin wouldn't be able to
inflict hardship on the people
of ukraine.
so we provided defensive weapons
to the people of ukraine.
the previous administration
chose not to do that.
they chose to provide blankets.
