Russian propaganda regarding the suspect in the assassination of former US President Donald Trump Ryan Root, who actively supported Ukraine, may negatively affect the visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyi to the States. This is stated in the material of CNN.
“This is exactly the type of “attention” that Ukraine did not need. Since clashing with Russia over its future back in 2003, Ukraine has carefully avoided the kind of political violence that Ryan Wesley Root is accused of [затриманого узв’язку з імовірною спробою замаху наДональда Трампа]CNN writes.
However, now — perhaps at the most important moment in the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine and on the eve of Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s visit to the United States for the UN General Assembly — Russian propaganda is trying to use the fact that Ruth vociferously supported Ukraine to spoil its relations with the United States.
In Russia, after the probable new attempt to assassinate Trump, they have already begun to create a false narrative, according to which the US support for Ukraine is allegedly something “extremist”. Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov, when asked what he thought about the attempt, said: “It’s not us who should think, but the US intelligence services. In any case, playing with fire has consequences.”
At the same time, the Russian propaganda television company RT also emphasized Ruth’s interest in Ukraine, quoting the words of the scandalous pro-Russian congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who said that “if the identity of the suspect is confirmed, it will become clear that he is obsessed with the war in Ukraine, which is financed by the United States.”
It is noted that Russian propaganda can spoil Zelenskyi’s visit to the United States, during which he is to present “the victory plan” of Ukraine of the administration of President Joe Biden.
In addition, recently there has been growing clamor in support of Ukraine obtaining US permission to use long-range missiles for strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation. Last week, it seemed likely that Biden would give Kiev permission to strike deep into Russia after public pressure from allies.
However, according to CNN, now Zelenskyi’s speeches in the press may be accompanied by questions about Rut, no matter how far from Kyiv’s agenda his attempt on Trump is.
“This will feed the ultimate paranoia of American isolationists: that actions abroad that appear to benefit America’s global interests carry with them the risk of fueling violence at home,” the report said.
A new attempt on Trump – what is known
On September 15, the headquarters of the US presidential candidate from the Republican Party said that Donald Trump was shot near, but he is safe.
A short time later, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office took into custody a possible suspect believed to be connected to the shooting incident. Trump himself said that he was not injured during the shooting.
As the Fox News channel reported with reference to law enforcement sources, the suspect in the shooting has been identified as Ryan Wesley Root.
Root was allegedly armed with an assault rifle outside the Trump International Golf Club as the former US president played golf in the afternoon.
According to law enforcement officials, the suspect was allegedly able to push the muzzle of the rifle through the fence. He was 300-500 yards from Trump when the Secret Service spotted Root and opened fire. The man managed to escape, but was later arrested.
The FBI said it is treating the shooting in Florida as a possible new attempt on Trump.
According to CNN, the suspect in the alleged assassination attempt on Trump was a critic of Trump, actively supported Ukraine, and also had problems with the law.
CNN also noted that Root was coming to Ukraine already after the full-scale invasion in May 2022.
On September 16, the Central Intelligence Agency denied the information that Ryan Root, the suspect in the attempt on former US President Donald Trump, is involved in the International Legion.
As CNN later reported, a loaded rifle with an SCS optical sight was found near Trump’s golf club (self-loading Simonov carbine) with an optical sight.
