After unsuccessfully attempting to join the Ukrainian Army, the suspect in yesterday's attempted assassination of former President Trump, Ryan Routh spent a few months in Kyiv with intent of associating himself with the war effort.

Publically available social media sources from the time of his visit warned that Routh was misrepresenting himself as a "recruiter" for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the New York Post and CNN, the man actively supported Ukraine on social media. In 2022, he wrote that he was ready to volunteer in Ukraine, and in 2023, he mentioned spending several months in the country after the start of the Russian invasion.
