An individual detained in connection with an alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump reportedly attempted to recruit individuals to fight in Ukraine through unofficial means, despite warnings from the International Legion in the country. According to a former recruiter for the military unit, the detainee exhibited 'delusions of grandeur' and disregarded official recruitment channels.
