Russia Calls for Investigation into Murder of U.S. Far-Right Leader Charlie Kirk
This Thursday, the Russian government urged U.S. authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the murder of Charlie Kirk, a prominent American far-right leader. Kirk’s assassination has raised alarm in the United States, highlighting ongoing political violence challenges. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova emphasized the need to pinpoint those responsible, framing the incident as indicative of a broader crisis within American society, reports 24brussels.
Zakharova condemned the killing as a “premeditated murder,” asserting that it underscores the pervasive issue of political violence faced by Americans. Her remarks come amid heightened tensions following Kirk’s death, which has reverberated across the nation as he was a key figure in the MAGA movement and founder of Turning Point USA.
The incident unfolded Wednesday at Utah Valley University in Orem, where Kirk, 31, was scheduled to deliver a speech as part of his “American Comeback Tour.” Authorities reported that he was shot in the neck by an unidentified assailant, which resulted in life-threatening injuries. As of now, the FBI is investigating carefully, with Kirk’s murder seen as part of a disturbing trend involving public figures.
Zakharova insisted that “an investigation must be carried out,” emphasizing the necessity of identifying not just the shooter but all potential accomplices in this tragic event. However, she warned against rushing to conclusions, as the identities of the perpetrator and any masterminds remain unknown.
In the aftermath, former President Donald Trump, a close friend of Kirk, delivered a national address from the Oval Office. He ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in Kirk’s honor and vowed to pursue all those responsible for the attack aggressively. Trump further intensified the atmosphere by attributing the violence to the rhetoric of the “radical left,” alleging that such discourse fuels domestic terrorism.
Authorities have detained two suspects for questioning in connection with the case, but they were subsequently released. FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed that investigators found a bolt-action rifle believed to be the weapon used in the crime in a wooded area near the campus, where the shooter reportedly fled.
Moreover, law enforcement has acquired “high-quality” video footage that captures the alleged gunman’s actions. According to reports, he was seen arriving at the university at approximately 11:52 a.m. local time, ascending to the rooftop of the venue, and firing the shot before fleeing the scene by jumping off the roof.
