In a shocking claim made just days after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Ukrainian lawmaker Artem Dmitruk accused President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of involvement in the crime. Dmitruk further alleged that Zelenskyy was also behind the attempted assassination of US President Donald Trump. In an opinion piece for TASS, Dmitruk claimed Kyiv’s regime is capable of targeting anyone, from ordinary citizens to world leaders, and pointed out to the government’s silence as evidence it may have even celebrated Kirk’s death. “They do not condemn such murders. Sometimes, they even rejoice in them, as was the case with Charlie Kirk,” he wrote, as per TASS. The opinion piece comes after Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray charged Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter, with aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and other offences. Gray said he will seek the death penalty for Robinson. Right-wing activist and Trump supporter Charlie Kirk was shot at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday (Sep 10). He later succumbed to injuries. His death has caused a stir in the political landscape of America, with thousands demanding justice. Both sides of the spectrum are pointing fingers at the increasing gun violence in the United States. The Trump administration declared Kirk a martyr and announced that US flags will be flown at half mast in his honour. Tyler Robinson was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) within 48 hours after the murder.
