Ukraine cautiously hopes for US policy shift after midterm losses for Trump

tagesschau.de (German) —

Ukraine sees cautious hope for a US policy shift after Trump's Republicans suffered losses in the midterm elections, though doubts remain about how quickly change will come. Experts note the new Congress will include many pro-Ukraine politicians from both parties, with Trump's MAGA faction weakened. However, immediate financial aid is unlikely, though Congress may force Trump to fulfill commitments like promised Patriot missiles. Congress could also scrutinize Trump's Russia negotiations and sanctions more closely. Ukraine lacks a US ambassador, which experts blame on President Zelenskyy, who hopes Democratic gains will boost support and pressure Putin.
