Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov attends a meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Tajikistan’s President Emomali Rahmon at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2023. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was merely the latest development in a scheme to prevent him from winning the election in November and returning to the White House.
“After numerous attempts to remove candidate Trump from the political arena using legal instruments at first — courts, the prosecutor’s office, attempts to politically discredit and compromise the candidate — it was obvious to all outside observers that life was in jeopardy,” Mr. Peskov said, according to the official Russian TASS news agency.
“Russia has always condemned and we strongly condemn any expressions of violence during political struggle,” Mr. Peskov told reporters, according to TASS. “The United States of America must take stock of its policies on inciting hatred toward political opponents, countries and people, and sponsoring terrorism. The bell is already ringing in Washington,” Ms. Zakharova posted on her Telegram page.
