According to AFP, Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated in a press release on the 14th, "It would be better for the United States to use the money spent on supplying weapons to Ukraine to strengthen police forces and other services that ensure law and order."

Zakharova also mentioned, "When all attempts to get rid of a troublesome president (candidate) fail, the old days' Lee Harvey Oswald tends to appear." Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, who died in 1963. Despite the authorities' conclusion that he acted alone, conspiracy theories have not disappeared.

Russia views the political prominence of former President Trump as evidence of public dissatisfaction within the United States regarding the Biden administration's continuous support for Ukraine.

Former President Trump has repeatedly declared during his campaigns that if re-elected, he would end the Ukraine war very quickly. In response to this statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is "taking it very seriously."
