Trump's assassination attempt: Reports of Ukraine links

Several world leaders condemned the alleged assassination attempt, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"It's good that the suspect in the assassination attempt was apprehended quickly. This is our principle: the rule of law is paramount and political violence has no place anywhere in the world," Zelenskyy said, offering his best wishes to Trump and his family.

Some US media outlets reported that the suspect had traveled to Ukraine to support the war effort against Russia.

The Kremlin also commented on the assassination attempt.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow was following the tense situation in the US, adding that the incident showed that "playing with fire" had consequences.

"We can see how tense the situation is there, including between political rivals -- the political fight is intensifying," Peskov said. "We are watching it closely, but we have never interfered in this in any way and we are not interfering now."
