Routh told the publication Semafor last year that he was director of a group he called International Volunteer Center as part of his attempts to support Ukraine's war against Russia.
Routh spoke of his frustration with Ukraine over what he said were roadblocks to admitting foreign fighters, including Afghan commandos, who either volunteered or were available to join Ukraine's war effort.
"Ukraine is very often hard to work with," he told Semafor. "They're afraid that anybody and everybody is a Russian spy."
On X, he frantically tweeted at President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with his ideas -- for instance, "to use Independence Park to create a tent city of all the foreigners here in support to get thousands more foreign civilians to come and support Ukraine."
In an interview with Newsweek, Romania, in 2022, Routh said he was 56 at the time and that he was from North Carolina and had flown to Ukraine from Hawaii. He complained about U.S. leadership as it related to Ukraine and urged greater support for the country from the U.S. government.
"This conflict is definitely black and white," he said. "This is about good versus evil."

Trump blames Biden and Harris for assassination attempts | BBC News |
Donald Trump has blamed President Biden and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris for the latest apparent assassination attempt against him, claiming that their rhetoric was inspiring violence against him.
It follows the arrest of Ryan Wesley Routh in Florida, after secret service officers opened fire on a man armed with an assault rifle, concealed in woodland where Mr Trump was playing golf.
Donald Trump said of the suspect: "He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it... Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country -- both from the inside and out."

Blowback From Fostering Fascists In Ukraine
Yesterday one avid U.S. supporter of the fascists in Ukraine tried to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump:
From an article in 2018 ...
Blowback: An Inside Look at How US-Funded Fascists in Ukraine Mentor US White Supremacists.
[November 19th, 2018. By Max Blumenthal]
Though Congress passed legislation this year forbidding military aid to Azov on the grounds of its white supremacist ideology, the Trump administration's authorization of $200 million in offensive weaponry and aid to the Ukrainian military makes it likely new stores of weapons will wind up the extremist regiment's hands. When queried by reporters about evidence of American military training of Azov personnel, multiple U.S. army spokespersons admitted there was no mechanism in place to prevent that from happening.
Today, Azov boasts combat experience, unlimited access to light weapons, and supporters honeycombed throughout the upper echelons of Ukraine's military and government. No longer just a militia, the organization has developed into a political juggernaut that can overpower Ukraine's government. Two years ago, the group flexed its muscle on the streets of Kiev, bringing out 10,000 supporters to demand that the government bend to their will or face a coup.
"With its military experience and weapons, Azov has the ability to blackmail the government and defend themselves politically against any opposition. They openly say that if the government will not advance an ideology similar to theirs, they will overthrow it," Ivan Katchanovski a professor of political science at the University of Ottawa and leading expert on Ukraine's far-right, commented to me. He continued, explaining:
Currently the organizations that are fascist are stronger in Ukraine than in any other country in the world. But this fact is not reported by Western media because they see these organizations as supportive of the geopolitical agenda against Russia. So condemnations are limited to violence or human rights abuses."
The revelations of collaboration between violent American white supremacists and a neo-Nazi militia armed by the Pentagon add another scandalous chapter to a long history of blowback that dates back to the 1950's, when the CIA rehabilitated several Ukrainian Nazi collaborators as anti-communist assets in the Cold War.
The almost unbelievable story exposes an axis of fascism that stretches across the Atlantic, from the Ukrainian capital of Kiev to the sun-washed suburbs of Southern California, where some of the most rabid modern white supremacist gangs were born.
