Volodymyr Zelensky has wished Donald Trump a “speedy recovery” after the former US president was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt on Saturday, 13 July, at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The Ukrainian president described the incident as a “heinous crime” and said it showed “how serious the global challenges to democracy are right now.”
