podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the United States halted and did not provide $16 billion in aid previously agreed upon, as he said in an interview with TSN at the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine must work on securing new assistance packages from the U.S. Congress after the elections, while building on bipartisan support and adapting to the new political landscape in Washington. He noted that Ukraine's chances for additional U.S. aid may increase, following Reuters reports that a Democratic victory in midterm elections could restore support and counter President Donald Trump's efforts to weaken sanctions against Russia.
