A Ukrainian link to former United States President Donald Trump's assassination attempt may appear, Ukrainian opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk wrote in a letter to the presidential candidate. 

Medvedchuk was the former leader of the Opposition Platform For Life party, which is now banned in Ukraine, and now leads the Other Ukraine movement. He said that Trump's repeated calls for peace in Ukraine have made him a target of the Zelensky administration, TASS reported.

"This peace means the loss of power for the (Volodymyr) Zelensky’s Nazi regime and its American sponsors from the Biden administration," the letter read. 

The politician said that Trump has "become an enemy" of the Ukrainian government, adding that the "scoundrel" Zelensky will do anything to keep the former President from winning the upcoming election. 

"I think that a Ukrainian link may appear in the assassination attempt case," he asserted.

Trump's stance on Ukraine: Threatening

Medvedchuk pointed to a history of political assassinations led by Zelensky's administration, saying that a day prior to the attempt to kill Trump, the head of Ukraine's military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, said that Ukraine tried to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

He also mentioned a statement from the chief of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andrey Yermak, who had warned that Ukrainians who want to make peace with Russia would be eliminated. 

"Physical elimination of political opponents and political corruption are links in a chain for those who are seeking to stay in power and are profiting from the war in Ukraine by means of selling weapons to Ukrainian neo-Nazis," he claimed.

Medvedchuk sees Trump as a more favorable US President, as he believes that the presidential candidate would halt support to Ukraine and facilitate a peace deal between Moscow and Kiev. 

Trump recently selected Ohio Senator, JD Vance, as his potential vice president. Vance is an outspoken critic of US financial support for Ukraine, which he argues places an undue burden on American taxpayers.

Trump was shot at by Thomas Matthew Crooks during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The assailant almost dealt a fatal shot to Trump, missing slightly with a bullet that cut Trump's ear open. The event is expected to boost Trump's chances in the upcoming election and has also aided Republican consensus, expressed in the latest Republican National Congress.
