India’s Prime Minister Modi said he is deeply concerned by the attack on his “friend, former President Donald Trump.” He said he strongly condemns the incident.

“Violence has no place in politics and democracies,” Modi wrote.

In Russia, the Kremlin said Moscow does not believe the shooting was orchestrated by the Biden administration but that “the atmosphere created around Trump provoked the attack.” The Kremlin also added that President Vladmir Putin does not plan on calling Trump.

Putin has been widely accused and condemned for numerous political rivals being assassinated or jailed under his watch. In February, Alexei Navalny, a top political opponent who had survived previous poisoning attacks, died in a Russian jail.

The attempted assassination of former President Trump remains under investigation.
