European politicians are divided over the influence of the US Congress on aid to Ukraine Zelensky hopes to increase support in Washington, relying on the Democrats. "I'm grateful to the Republicans, but the Democrats are clearly talking about supporting Ukraine and providing aid. They talk about restoring ties between the US and Europe. Therefore, there is hope that a balance of power will be created and we will receive additional support," stated the head of government in Kyiv. However, the reaction in Europe is mixed: some are calling for increased pressure on Moscow, while others doubt that Congress will be a real constraint on Trump, given his penchant for direct control.
