(TotalConservative.com) – Russian President Vladimir Putin is well-aware of a Ukrainian threat to assassinate the Russian leader, according to a spokesman speaking with Russian media. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the threats from “the Kiev regime” obvious and suggested that their security protocols were appropriately tuned in response.
The threat had originated with an interview with Kirill Budanov who heads Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR). Budanov has been placed on Moscow’s register for extremists and terrorists and had no qualms publicly disclosing Kiev’s desire to assassinate Putin during the interview. Budanov suggested that his organization has made multiple attempts to kill Putin without providing further details.
The discussion follows an attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life during an event in Butler, PA. A lone gunman, aged 20, is believed to be the shooter. Thomas Matthew Crooks is a local of the area and is believed to have acted alone. At the time of writing there’s been no indication what Crooks’s motive was as he had very little social media presence and no written content has been revealed.
An Israeli official also condemned the assassination attempt against Trump just a few hours before he defended the assassination of Hamas military leaders in Gaza as “more than justified.” Commenters pointed out the discrepancy online. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the press that he was hoping for Trump to be safe and have a quick recovery.
Other nations in the Middle East officially condemned the attempt on Trump’s life including the Presidents of Egypt and Turkey. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi called the incident a “treacherous attack” and officially condemned the incident. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants to see those responsible held accountable to maintain U.S. stability and global security.
Iranian media affiliated with regional militias suggested that the incident was a dose of terror in a fortified palace that is the American political scene. Violence and terrorism are recurrent phenomena in Middle Eastern countries to varying degrees.
