Shots rang out during former US President Donald Trump's speech at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The politician received an ear injury.

This is reported by CNN.

Trump was speaking on stage when the shots rang out. He managed to bend down. The former US president was surrounded by representatives of the special services, taken off the stage and put in a car.

Cameras captured blood on the president's face as he was led off the stage. Later it turned out that he was all right, but the bullet hit his ear.

"President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick response to this heinous act. He is doing well and is in a local hospital. More details will be provided at a later date," said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung.

The former US president himself even said that he heard the whistle of a bullet.

"I was shot with a bullet that went through the top of my right ear. I knew right away that something was wrong because I heard the whistle, the shots and immediately felt the bullet go through the skin," The Washington Post quoted Trump as saying.

According to CNN, the man who shot Trump has been "neutralized."

A spectator was killed during the shooting. Trump expressed his condolences to the people who were injured in the shooting. He also thanked the law enforcement agencies for "their quick reaction to the shooting."

According to The Associated Press, the FBI will investigate the shooting as an attempt on former US President Donald Trump.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, if Donald Trump wins the elections in the USA, he is ready to make territorial concessions to russian dictator vladimir putin for a quick end to the war in Ukraine.

At the same time, during the debate, Trump called the peace terms previously put forward by putin unacceptable.

Also, at a debate with the current US President Joe Biden, Donald Trump said that Ukraine will not be able to win the war against the russian federation.
