The Kremlin condemns all acts of violence during the political struggle. This is how the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the attempted assassination of the former US president and participant in the new presidential race, Donald Trump.
„Russia has always condemned and we categorically condemn any acts of violence during the political struggle”, said Peskov.
It was obvious to all outside observers that the life of former US President and participant in the new presidential race Donald Trump was in danger, said the press secretary of the Russian leader.
"After numerous attempts to eliminate candidate Trump from the political arena, first with the help of legal instruments, courts, prosecution, attempts to politically discredit and discredit the candidate, it was obvious to all outside observers that his life is in danger“, representative of the Kremlin.
Peskov stated that the US administration “willingly or unwittingly transferred its working methods into domestic politics”. “The style of power solutions has also appeared on the domestic stage,”, he noted.
The current authorities in the US have created an atmosphere of violence, and the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, a participant in the presidential race of this country, is related to this fact, Peskov said.
„We do not at all think and believe that the attempt to eliminate presidential candidate Trump is organized by the current administration, but the atmosphere that was created by this administration during the political struggle, the atmosphere around candidate Trump is what provoked what America is facing today,” the Kremlin spokesman said. “The political system of the United States of America is such that many times in history it has presented to the world examples of violence within the country in the course of political struggle. We know of multiple cases of injuries, even murders of US presidents”, said Peskov.
In his opinion, “the style of work of the current administration is such that they prefer to solve all issues from the position of strength, including above all in world affairs”. “No one ever tries to find compromises. This is economic pressure, these sanctions so loved by the [US] administration, or political pressure, or direct use of force, military force,”, the press secretary of the Russian leader listed. “Now the violence has essentially moved inside the country,”, he emphasized, speaking of the attempted assassination of Trump.
Russia expresses its condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes for the speedy recovery of those injured in the assassination attempt of former US President and candidate in the new presidential race Donald Trump, Peskov said.
„We express our condolences to the relatives of those who died in this attack. “We also sympathize and wish a speedy recovery to all the injured,” said the Kremlin representative.
