Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he was seriously concerned about the safety of Donald Trump after a series of frightening incidents. Speaking at the summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, Putin not only praised Trump’s intelligence and political experience but also issued a stark warning, that the former US President’s life remains at risk.
Assassination Attempts and Rising Tensions
Putin referenced two jarring incidents this year involving Trump. In July, Trump was said to have been injured in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Another man was charged in late September after being accused of positioning himself with a rifle at one of Trump’s Florida golf courses. These events underscore the hazardous environment in which Trump seems to operate.
Putin reflected on these events at a press conference, saying the methods used against Trump were “absolutely uncivilized.” “In my opinion, he is not safe now,” Putin said, adding that Trump needs to stay cautious and vigilant.
Putin’s Critique of US Election Dynamics
He also condemned the handling that Trump received in his electoral campaigns within the United States. Putin opined that the attacks targeting the family would make even Russian “bandits” hold back.
This is quite a statement coming from Putin, given Russia’s strict and often controversial methods of political control. It’s worth noting that Putin himself is heavily protected, which underscores the seriousness of his advice to Trump.

The Ukraine Factor: A Political Game?
He extended the connection of Trump’s problems to international politics and, in particular, the Ukraine War. He condemned what he termed as the “escalation of the war” from the Biden administration by providing Ukraine with the opportunity to bomb Russian territory using Western-sourced missiles.
Putin speculated that these moves could have dual purposes:
- To hinder Trump’s position by creating an unpredictable situation.
- To provide Trump with a future political advantage by giving him a problem to solve during his potential presidency.
Putin expressed cautious optimism, saying, “I think Trump will find a solution,” and emphasized Moscow’s readiness for dialogue should Trump return to power.
My Take on This
Honestly, this situation feels a bit like a mix between high-stakes drama and real danger. Putin’s warnings about Trump’s safety should not be taken lightly, considering Russia’s deep involvement in global politics. If Trump is really serious about maintaining his political ambitions, I think he should make personal security a priority and plan his strategies carefully.
At the same time, it is not possible to ignore the political gamesmanship in Putin’s statements. By praising Trump and criticizing Biden, Putin somehow appears to be a proponent of Trump’s probable return to power. Do I believe that this support is genuine? Most likely not. It seems rather to be part of Russia’s broader geopolitical strategy.
