ALBAWABA - A 2022 Azov Brigade propaganda video of Ryan Routh was shared across social media triggering a debate among users on X (formerly known as Twitter). Routh is the individual who recently subjected former US President Donald Trump to a second assassination attempt.

On Sunday, a gunshot was fired close to Donald Trump while he was playing golf at his Palm Beach property, making it the second time the former president was nearly assassinated with the first being at one of his rallies in Pennsylvania. 

Ryan Routh quickly became the talk of social media with Donald Trump as well with sketchy videos of the individual from his past resurfacing again on different platforms including the propaganda clip mentioned above.

Routh appeared in a one-minute and 50-second propaganda video for a mere two seconds as he was seen wearing an American scarf flag while looking emotional. The video covers topics of Russia's war on Ukraine and the disputed city of Mariupol.

It showcased several Ukrainians being emotional while holding protest signs about Mariupol with a voice-over from the "Mariupol defenders" thanking them for their support by spreading awareness on the issue at hand and standing with them. 

Azov Brigade is a Ukrainian far-right military unit formerly based in Mariupol, in the coastal region of the Sea of Azov from which it derived its name. 

Moreover, another user shared a video of Routh appearing in a popular YouTuber's video as they claimed that he was "trying to recruit people for a revolution." 

The video in question was first shared by YouTuber JiDion who recently confirmed it to be true.
