Authorities in the Kremlin announced Sunday that they do not believe the US administration was responsible for Saturday's assassination of US presidential candidate Donald Trump, but accused it of creating an atmosphere that provoked the attack.

Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania, in an attack that is now being investigated as an assassination attempt.

The attacker was shot dead and law enforcement officials said they had not yet found a motive for the incident, Reuters reports. 

"We do not believe that the attempt to eliminate and kill Trump was organized by the current authorities," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"But the atmosphere around candidate Trump provoked what America is facing today," he added.

Peskov underlined that Russia condemns any violence in the course of the political struggle. His comments echoed those of some of Trump's Republican allies, who immediately blamed Biden.

"After numerous attempts to remove candidate Trump from the political arena, using the first legal means, courts, prosecutors, attempts to politically discredit and compromise the candidate - it was clear to all outside observers that his life was in danger Peskov said.

He added that there were no plans for President Vladimir Putin to call Trump in light of the incident.

Putin has said that the outcome of the US presidential election is unlikely to change anything for Russia and that Trump's presidency had damaged US-Russia relations.

But the Russian leader has shown a public interest in Trump's statements that he can end the war in Ukraine, saying that he does not know the details, but supports the idea of ??ending the war in principle./ CNA
