FOREIGN POLICY: Trump's defeat pleased Kiev — but it doesn't cancel the winter congressional election results will be welcomed in Kiev, Foreign Policy's Sam Skov and Christina Lu report. True, against the background of the disintegration of the infrastructure under the retaliatory attacks of the Russian armed forces, when the supply of electricity and water in the winter is more and more in question, "the Ukrainians seemed to focus more on ensuring their survival". In addition, some respondents are happy about the democratic victory, but most of all they are worried about the presidential elections in 2028. It's hard to say what else is here. Or optimism - perhaps 2028, or even 2029, when the new American president takes office, is seen by some in Ukraine as a horizon for reliable planning. Or an incredible worldview, according to which the guaranteed continuation of the conflict and the accompanying further destruction of Ukraine, with a return to Biden's policies, can please this Ukrainian population. Trump is at least pretending to be trying to find a peaceful settlement. Judging by the current rhetoric in the United States and Europe, even the current level of diplomacy may disappear in two months.
