Zelensky hopes Democratic Congress will boost Ukraine aid

jpost.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday he hopes Democratic gains in the US midterm elections will lead to increased support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, citing Democrats' clear stance on assistance. Zelensky told Germany's ZDF television he is grateful to Republicans but believes Democrats speak clearly about supporting Ukraine and renewing US-Europe ties, expressing hope that a new balance of power will bring more aid that could impact Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has worked to manage relations with President Donald Trump following a tense February 2025 Oval Office meeting, while Trump has recently made moves favorable to Russia, though US-led trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia are set to resume in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11.
