News - BBC: Suspect in latest assassination attempt against Trump probably recruited volunteers for war with Russia

By examining the social media accounts and photos of a man named Ryan Routh, which resemble the arrested person, BBC Verify found that he strongly supported Ukraine, particularly in the war with Russia. Some of his posts on Facebook—where his page is now hidden—and one video interview suggest that he was recruiting volunteers for the war with Russia and traveled to Kyiv. Donald Trump's cold stance on military aid to Ukraine is one of the US presidential election campaign's key themes, ads BBC Verify. Social media accounts under the name Ryan Routh also contain statements supporting the Palestinians as well as supporting Taiwan against China, including accusations that China is waging biological warfare and that the country deliberately spread the coronavirus around the world. The US law enforcement agencies have not yet released any official information about the views and motives of the detainee, and about his name and personality in general.
