Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is hoping the result of upcoming US congressional elections will lead to further support for Ukraine. In comments cited by multiple outlets, he links the country’s expectations for aid to changes in the US political balance that could follow the election.
Both outlets describe Zelensky expressing gratitude toward Republicans as well, while emphasizing his view that Democrats have been clearer about backing Ukraine and providing assistance. The Jerusalem Post frames the hope specifically around Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress next year, while NDTV highlights Zelensky’s remarks as carried in German by ZDF before an interview broadcast, with the focus on party positions toward aid. Across the two reports, the common thread is Zelensky’s expectation that Washington’s election outcome will influence the level and continuity of assistance to Kyiv.
