The strongest and weakest deal at the same time – political scientist on security agreements with the United States Anzhelika Galesevich Vladimir Zelensky and Joe Biden have concluded an important bilateral security agreement for 10 years – this is a colossal and large-scale agreement that opens up opportunities for a number of other intergovernmental agreements. Starting from the consolidation of systemic intelligence exchange, training of joint cooperation, weapons production. for more systematic cooperation. This opinion 24 Channel was expressed by political scientist Oleg Sahakyan, noting that at the same time the defense agreement will depend on the results of the election campaign and the political situation that will be created in the first months after the presidential elections elections in the USA. The security agreements with the United States are truly a serious step forward. The only thing is that this will be the strongest and weakest agreement on guarantees for the security of cooperation at the same time,” the political scientist noted. The strongest is due to the largest volume of positions described in the cooperation tracks both in breadth and depth. The United States is Ukraine's first security partner. American leadership must be reaffirmed in this treaty in terms of the specifics, scope, amounts and programs that will be specified there. Weakest – due to the extremely difficult election campaign in the United States, within which it is clear that ratifying such a security arrangement in Congress would simply be unrealistic. It is much more profitable for Joe Biden to leave it at the level of signing by the president and thus create additional leverage for negotiations and pressure on the American establishment. According to Sahakyan, if Donald Trump comes to power in the United States, the security agreement with Ukraine may be put under the knife due to its confusion and unpredictability , the ability to change your position by 180° within 24 hours. Therefore, the agreement will depend on the political situation within the States. Under Trump's presidency, it can either have 100% support or be completely crossed out. He will want to do this because of, for example, his view of foreign policy. Now I note that Trump’s position has already undergone certain adjustments. In particular, during the last six months of the election campaign in the States. We saw that after freezing the process of supporting Ukraine for six months, Trump’s position emigrated from the fact that he is not against supporting Ukraine to statements that he would bomb Moscow in general. And many other things that don’t speak so much about Trump himself,” noted Oleg Sahakyan. “His position is a weathervane. He always takes the one that the voter wants to hear. It tells us not about his position, but from the voters and sponsors of the Republican Party. He needs the support of Nick Galey, its voters, sponsors. He needs to demonstrate that his coming to the White House is not only about him, but also about the Republican Party. Therefore, his position is already several. has changed, and the risks that he will be able and willing to abandon the US commitments, saying that it was all Biden, have decreased,” he added.
