Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on the situation surrounding the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, suggesting a possible connection between suspect Ryan Wesley Root and the Ukrainian regime. In his statement on the social network X (former Twitter), Medvedev indicated that Root, who is suspected of attempting to assassinate Trump, could have been connected to Kiev and did not rule out that he was hired by the Ukrainian authorities to organize the assassination attempt on Trump.

"I wonder what will happen if it turns out that the failed new Trump shooter Root, who recruited mercenaries for the Ukrainian army, was himself hired by the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv for this assassination attempt?" — Medvedev wrote, emphasizing the possible connection between Ruth’s actions and the interests of the Ukrainian government.
