Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt
Moscow:
Moscow on Sunday called on the United States to “take stock” of its “hate-incitement policies”, while using the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump to denounce support for Ukraine.
Addressing “those who vote for the United States to supply weapons” to Kiev, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced support for Kiev, which she said fueled “attacks against the Russian president ”.
She added that “perhaps it would be better to use this money to fund American police and other services that are supposed to ensure law and order in the United States?”
A Trump victory in the November elections would call into question continued US support for Ukraine as it resists Russian offensives launched in 2022.
The Republican Party candidate suggested he would end the conflict very quickly if he regained the presidency, which Kiev fears would mean it would be forced to negotiate with Moscow from a weakened position.
Vladimir Putin said he takes Trump’s comments about ending the war “very seriously.”
Zakharova added that “when other means of getting rid of the troubled president are exhausted, good old Lee Harvey Oswald steps in”, referring to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the source of numerous conspiracy theories, including that his death was ordered from within the US state apparatus.
The JFK assassination commission concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine who lived in the Soviet Union, acted alone.
