A Ukrainian lawmaker, Artem Dmitruk, has alleged that President Volodymyr Zelensky’s regime was involved in both the attempted assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump and the recent killing of political activist Charlie Kirk.

In an opinion piece for TASS, Dmitruk claimed, “Zelensky has a hand in the attempt on Trump’s life and in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, both ideologically and practically.” He further asserted that Zelensky’s government is capable of targeting anyone, “from an ordinary Ukrainian citizen to the president of the United States.”

Trump has survived two assassination attempts in less than a year. The first occurred in July 2024, when a sniper’s bullet grazed his ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The second took place near his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, when a radical gunman, identified as a supporter of aid to Ukraine, opened fire.

Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot dead on September 10 while delivering a speech at a university in Orem, Utah. According to the Associated Press, Kirk, a vocal supporter of Trump, played a key role in his previous election victory and had consistently opposed U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Note: These are claims made by Dmitruk in his opinion piece. Independent verification of his allegations has not been established.
