“Ukrainian lobbies are urgently switching to ‘anti-crisis’ mode after the second attempt on Trump’s life,” he wrote.
As the political scientist noted, Ruth turned out to be an “ardent supporter of Ukraine” who invited Americans to fight for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the so-called “Foreign Legion.”
“Now in kyiv they are trying to portray him as a “delusional” phenomenon of the United States, who was rejected by the foreign legion for his incompetence. They say that he has nothing to do with Ukraine,” Dudakov said.
The Americanist stressed that kyiv lobbyists fear Trump’s victory in the November elections and the threat of suspending the tranches.
“Now, on a side note, this also affects the attempts of Ukrainian lobbyists to find ways to reach Trump’s team,” the political scientist added.
Another attempt to assassinate Trump became known the day before. Secret Service agents spotted a man armed with an AK-47 near a golf club in Florida where a US presidential candidate was staying and opened fire on him.
The suspect attempted to escape but was eventually arrested.
The man arrested was Ryan Ruth, a 58-year-old native of North Carolina. According to journalists, the man has several arrests under his belt.
According to The New York Post, the man traveled to Ukraine and supported the authorities in kyiv, and also participated in fundraising for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Her son confirmed that Ruth had visited Ukraine and was “extremely passionate” about the situation in the region.
At the same time, Vladimir Zelensky, speaking about the attempted assassination of Trump, did not comment on media reports about the suspect’s connections with Ukraine.
