"We do not at all think or believe that the attempt to eliminate presidential candidate Trump was organized by the current government, but the atmosphere that this administration created during the political struggle, the atmosphere around candidate Trump provoked what America is faced with today," Peskov said on Sunday.
On Sunday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a social media post that U.S. lawmakers should use the money being spent to supply Ukraine with weapons "to finance the American police and other services which should ensure law and order within the United States."
Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his sympathies to Trump, according to a statement from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while The Global Times, a newspaper owned by the country's ruling Communist Party, published several editorial articles quoting Chinese academics who said the U.S. was becoming increasingly polarized and at risk of a potential civil war.
