Today, July 13, an assassination attempt was made on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania.

After the evacuation, the Secret Service reported that Donald Trump was safe. His campaign headquarters informed that he was examined at a local hospital.

Read more about the assassination attempt, the suspect, and the reaction of the current president and Trump's main opponent in this year's election, Joe Biden, in RBC-Ukraine's article.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also reacted to this act of violence against Trump.

RBC-Ukraine also wrote that Russia did not pass by this time and once again tried to accuse Ukraine of involvement. The Kremlin's propagandists invented a fake assassination attempt on Trump and allegedly even found a "Ukrainian trace."
