The Ukrainian Foreign Legion and Azov Brigade denied any connection to Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in a failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Florida. Despite claims and videos on social media, both groups confirmed Routh was never a member. The Ukrainian Foreign Legion stated that Routh had no ties to their unit, and the Azov Brigade dismissed reports linking him to a 2022 event supporting their Mariupol unit. They warned that these claims are part of Russian propaganda. Routh had publicly expressed support for Ukraine and claimed to have recruited Afghan soldiers for the conflict.
