It seems the Kiev regime is desperately trying to brush off Ukraine’s links to purported would-be Trump shooter Ryan Wesley Routh, following his claims (on X and in interviews) about his involvement in the Ukraine conflict.Zelensky then went further by extending his "best wishes" to the 45th US president and his family and adding that "It’s good that the suspect was apprehended quickly."In the same vein, the International Legion of Ukraine, a unit with the Ukrainian Ground Forces, argued that it had no association with Routh.The Guardian has meanwhile cited the legion as saying that Routh's ideas about what he once called "a black and white" Ukraine conflict were "delusional."The same tone was struck by Matthew Crosston, Professor of National Security and Director of Academic Transformation at Bowie State University who told Sputnik that "the early information coming out about the [suspected Trump] shooter clearly indicates a man of questionable mental stability that has over the years often resulted in radical extreme expressions of delusional political action." Crosston minced no words when dubbing Routh "an unhealthy and unstable person."In last year’s interview with the New York Times, Routh claimed he was willing "to fight and die in Ukraine," and in separate development, he told Newsweek that he’s eager to recruit volunteers for Ukraine’s Foreign Legion.

How Does Ukraine Try to Distance Itself From Suspected Trump Assassin?
12:57 GMT 17.09.2024 (Updated: 13:08 GMT 17.09.2024) Routh pointed an assault rifle at Donald Trump on his Florida golf course on September 15, in what became the second assassination attempt on the 45th US president since July.
It seems the Kiev regime is desperately trying to brush off Ukraine’s links to purported would-be Trump shooter
Ryan Wesley Routh, following his claims (on X and in interviews) about his involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
First and foremost, Volodymyr Zelensky was quick to condemn the assassination attempt, claiming that he’s "glad to hear" that Trump is "safe and unharmed."
Zelensky then went further by extending his "best wishes" to the 45th US president and his family and adding that "It’s good that the suspect was apprehended quickly."
In the same vein,
the International Legion of Ukraine, a unit with the Ukrainian Ground Forces, argued that it had no association with Routh.
"American citizen Ryan Routh has never served in the International Legion and has no relation to the unit. Rumors disseminated in certain media are not true," the unit said in a statement.
The Guardian has meanwhile cited the legion as saying that Routh's ideas about what he once called "a black and white"
Ukraine conflict were "delusional."
The same tone was struck by Matthew Crosston, Professor of National Security and Director of Academic Transformation at Bowie State University who told Sputnik that "the early information coming out about the [suspected Trump] shooter clearly indicates a man of questionable mental stability that has over the years often resulted in radical extreme expressions of delusional political action." Crosston minced no words when dubbing Routh "an unhealthy and unstable person."
In last year’s interview with the New York Times, Routh claimed he was willing "to fight and die in Ukraine," and in separate development, he told Newsweek that he’s eager to recruit volunteers for Ukraine’s Foreign Legion.
