Horrified to learn about the attack and glad to know Donald is safe - Zelenskyy on Trump assassination attempt

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the shooting in Pennsylvania, where Republican Donald Trump was shot at. He was speaking at a campaign rally when a bullet flew past him, causing a minor injury.

The Ukrainian leader noted that he was glad that the American politician was okay. This is stated in his post on X.

Zelenskyy said he was horrified to learn of the shooting of former US President Donald Trump during his campaign rally. He noted that there is no excuse for such violence and should be no place anywhere in the world.

"Violence must never win. I am glad to know that Donald Trump is safe and wish him a speedy recovery," the Ukrainian leader wrote.

He also expressed his condolences to the family of the victim of the attack, a rally participant.

"I wish strength to everyone who is shocked by this event. I wish America to come out of this stronger," Zelenskyy added.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden condemned the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. He called his opponent, who was taken to the hospital with a minor injury, who emphasized that he was fine.

As a reminder, on July 13, during a speech by US presidential candidate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, the sounds of gunfire were heard. After the shots, the politician fell to the ground. He was picked up by Secret Service agents, led off the stage, and then taken to the hospital. The photos show that Trump's cheek is scratched and his ear is bloody.

As reported, the US found out that the attacker at the rally in Pennsylvania was Thomas Matthew Crooks, who had recorded a video with threats on the eve of the event. The man made at least eight shots, killing one person and wounding two more.
