The US mid-term elections could have a positive impact on Washington’s policy towards Ukraine. This was stated by Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Chairman of the Kyiv Security Forum and former Prime Minister of Ukraine, during an interview on BBC News.
According to him, a new political landscape will emerge following the mid-term elections in the United States. At the same time, he emphasised that Ukraine continues to enjoy bipartisan support within American society.
“66 per cent of Americans still support Ukraine. There is even support for Ukraine amongst MAGA supporters. Look at those who stood as Republican candidates in the mid-term elections. I haven’t seen anyone who supported Trump’s decision to lift sanctions against Russia,” Yatsenyuk noted.
He expressed the hope that positive changes would take place in the near future, enabling Ukraine to receive more American aid.
“This will not radically change the situation. But I hope that Ukraine will have certain opportunities to receive more support,” emphasised the KSF Chairman.
Yatsenyuk also described the US decision to ease sanctions on Russian oil as a mistake. He stressed that Russia poses a threat to the national security of the United States, and noted that Ukraine had paid with the lives of its citizens for the consequences of these misguided decisions.
