Ryan Wesley Routh, the individual detained for the second apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, was a small business owner based in Hawaii. Routh was known to be a fervent supporter of the Ukrainian war effort, as revealed by sources who had interacted with him in the past.
During his time in Kyiv's Independence Square in June 2022, Routh was actively encouraging individuals to join the foreign legion or provide assistance to Ukraine through humanitarian aid organizations. His strong stance on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine was characterized by a belief in a clear distinction between good and evil, with Routh condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions as terrorism.
