Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, had a deep interest in the war in Ukraine. In May 2022, he was pictured at a Kyiv rally advocating for more humanitarian aid. The following month, Routh gave an interview to Newsweek Romania, expressing his strong belief that the Ukraine conflict was a clear battle between "good versus evil."
