Not everything is so simple: what results of the US elections will suit Ukraine

Not everything is so simple: what results of the US elections will suit Ukraine Petro Sineoky

On November 5, along with the US presidential elections, there will also be elections to Congress. Ukraine needs to watch this closely, because further military aid for our country will depend on the results.

Renew Democracy Initiative Director Uriel Epstein told Channel 24 about this, commenting on the upcoming elections in the United States. Not all forecasts are positive for Ukraine.

Will there be further military aid for Ukraine?

As Epstein noted, as of today, Trumpism does not coincide with the interests of Ukraine. And Donald Trump's victory in the elections could be a threat to our country. But completely different combinations are possible. Some of them will be alarming for Ukraine, others – positive.

One of the best options is Kamala Harris's victory in the presidential elections. It would also be necessary for the Democrats to have a majority in the House of Representatives. And the Republican majority in the Senate should not be a problem. They support our country in the fight against Russia.

I think that this is what will happen. Then the situation for Ukraine will be more positive. It is important that Harris is improving her position. Recently, her adviser Phil Gordon spoke out in support of the idea that there is now a war between freedom and authoritarianism in Ukraine. There is hope that if Harris is elected, the aid will be greater and more serious, Epstein said.

Please note! Donald Trump has repeatedly said that the war in Ukraine will end quickly if he is elected US President. There are concerns that he may force our country to an unfair and unprofitable “peace” with Russia.

In September, Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance suggested what a “peaceful settlement” of the war in Ukraine might be. He believes that the war will be frozen on the current front line. Ukraine will retain sovereignty, but part of its territory will be occupied. Our country will also be required to be neutral and refuse to join NATO.

Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris rejects the idea of ​​neutrality and surrendering territories to Russia. She considers this a capitulation, not peace.
