Attempt on Trump: 'Azov' commented on rumors about connections with the suspect.


The 'Azov' brigade denied any connection with the suspect in the attempt on Trump.
We officially declare that Ryan Wesley Ruth has no connection to 'Azov' and never had any relationship with the brigade. The peaceful demonstration he attended was open, and anyone could join it. He appeared in the video shot by the protesters by accident
Spreading the narrative of a possible connection between Ruth and the 'Azov' brigade helps Russian propaganda and discredits the National Guard of Ukraine.
Yesterday, it became known that an attempt was made near Trump. He is safe. According to Trump, “Shots were heard near me. Before rumors get out of control, I want you to hear this first: I am safe and sound! Nothing will stop me. I will never give up. I will always love you for supporting me”.
The FBI considers this incident a possible attempt on Trump's life. The US Secret Service confirmed that its agent opened fire on the armed suspect.
The suspect in the assassination attempt is Ryan Wesley Ruth. During his arrest, he was found with two backpacks and a GoPro camera, and an AK-47 rifle was found near the scene of the incident. In 2022, Ruth went to Ukraine to participate in the war against Russia as part of the 'Foreign Legion'.
This is the second attempt on Trump's life this year. Previously, on July 13, he suffered an ear injury at a rally in Butler.
The International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also denied any connection with Ruth and noted that he did not recruit fighters.
