The aggressor state of russia is using the new assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump in its propaganda, as the shooter supported Ukraine and repeatedly visited Kyiv.
Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, announced this.
"Russia is using another attempt on Trump against Ukraine in the information field," the report says.
It will be recalled that shots rang out near US presidential candidate Donald Trump, when he was leaving his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Law enforcement officers detained 58-year-old US citizen Ryan Wesley Routh. He is suspected of preparing an attempt on the US presidential candidate, which is one version of the FBI.
Kovalenko noted that the mass media drew attention to the fact that Routh supported Ukraine, the Azov regiment, repeatedly visited Kyiv. In addition, he is associated with an organization that was involved in the supply of weapons to Ukraine and Taiwan.
"This incident is already becoming a topic for russian propaganda. The enemy will later launch a number of conspiracy theories about the "Ukrainian trail". Of course, all this is a lie. But information confrontation is a component of war," he summarized.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, meanwhile, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his best wishes to former US President Donald Trump against the backdrop of a new possible assassination attempt and emphasized that political violence has no place anywhere in the world.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that he was "relieved" to hear that former President Donald Trump was not injured in the possible assassination attempt, and also instructed the Secret Service to provide all necessary resources to protect the former president.
