Daily Mail: 'We both have made some mistakes': Trump says Russia DOES share blame in tension between the two nations - but Mueller's probe has been a 'disaster' because there was 'no collusion' and 'everybody knows it'

* President Trump is in Helsinki for his summit with Vladimir Putin
* He began Monday by bashing the special counsel probe, 'Crooked Hillary' and former President Barack Obama
* He went after U.S. 'foolishness and stupidity' dealing with Russia
* Russia's ministry of foreign affairs said it agreed with him in a reply tweet
* The Justice Department indicted 12 Russian military intelligence officers Friday
* Trump earlier vented that no matter how well he does he won't be appreciated
* Said that would apply even if 'I was given the great city of Moscow'
* Blasted the media as the 'enemy of the people,' a term used in Soviet times
* Said at press conference that he believes 'both countries' are to blame for decades of tension between the two nations
* Trump did not say where exactly Moscow went wrong, however, as he pivoted to a degradation of Mueller's probe and his claim that there's 'no collusion'
* 'There was no collusion at all. Everybody knows it,' he argued.'We ran a brilliant campaign. And that's why I'm president'
