"The media drew attention to the fact that Ruth supported Ukraine, the Azov regiment, and visited Kyiv on several occasions. In addition, he is associated with an organization that supplied weapons to Ukraine and Taiwan. This incident is already becoming a topic for Russian propaganda. The enemy will continue to launch a number of conspiracy theories about the "Ukrainian trace," Kovalenko said.
