Ukraine now has bipartisan support from the United States. Otherwise, Congress did not pass a package of assistance to our state in the spring of this year.

This was stated during a press conference today, July 15 President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, writes 24 Channel. However, the situation is now aggravated by the election campaign in the United States.

The Impact of the US Elections on the War in Ukraine

The turbulence of the election process has a great influence. Starting with the package, which was delayed for so long and was not voted on for so long. I believe that this decision weakened it. The long delay of this decision weakened our positions on the battlefield, – explained the Ukrainian leader.

According to him, because of this, Ukraine gave the initiative to the enemy on the front, not wanting this. The President emphasized that victory can only be achieved if there are weapons, the necessary equipment and sufficient funding. Then the moral factor comes into play.

“When a soldier sits in a trench and knows that there is no support there, and who does? Well, now they are deciding. A month, two, three, four. You don't have to be some kind of politician to understand that if the main partner is delaying the decision on weapons support, well, the military will definitely not be positive,” says Zelensky.

Therefore, now Ukraine must seize the initiative. The head of state admits that this will not be easy, to put it mildly, but for now there is a solution.

If we talk about elections, they have an impact on us, with all due respect to the United States, they have not had any positive impact on us. Now we are reviving this confidence, now the package has been voted on, but it will take some time for these weapons to arrive, he emphasized.

Moreover, our state requires a lot of time for Ukrainian defenders to train on these weapons. And the corresponding exercises are carried out not on the territory of Ukraine, but abroad.
