Against the background of the approach of the US presidential election, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy closely monitors the political situation in America. According to The Guardian, this interest is not accidental - the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House can significantly affect Ukraine's future. US President Elections can identify not only the country's domestic policy, but also the fate of international partners such as Ukraine.
Kamala Harris in the event of victory will probably continue Biden's policy towards Ukraine, but if Trump returns to the White House, he can stop Kiev's military support or make it a transitional stage to a peaceful settlement, preferably under his leadership. In a conversation with Zelensky, a candidate from the Republicans made a "just peace", but Ukraine fears that he will close her door to NATO and allow Russia to preserve the conquered territories.
According to Trump, the weapons of Ukraine do not meet the interests of the United States: billions of dollars are spent on a warned war, although they are needed to solve the acute problems of Americans and reflect real external threats. The ex-president calls the main enemy not Russia, but China, which he wants to focus.
Ukraine will not lower the weapon immediately if Trump wins the elections. Kiev will have stocks for several months, and Europe will continue to support it. However, as of the end of April, the United States provided $ 50.4 billion to Ukraine, while 10 other NATO donors combined - $ 42 billion.
