Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Medvedchuk has written a letter to Donald Trump warning that the assassination attempt on July 13 may have been tied to Ukraine, RT reported this morning. “Dear Mr. Trump, you have become a personal enemy of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, and this scoundrel will stop at nothing to prevent you from winning the presidential election,” Medvedchuk wrote on July 16. “I think that there will be a Ukrainian trace in the case of the assassination attempt on you.”
According to Medvedchuk, the current government in Kyiv has an interest in prolonging the conflict, because ending it would bring into question their legitimacy. Zelenskyy’s “criminal regime” would lose U.S. support when Trump returns to the White House and faces “deserved punishment for its crimes,” he wrote. “The day before the assassination attempt on you, Mr. President, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence stated that the Ukrainian authorities had attempted to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin, and a few days earlier, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine promised to destroy Ukrainians who advocate peace with Russia,” Medvedchuk told Trump.
