Trump may increase the pressure on Kiev after the mid-term elections in the United States, thus hoping to quickly end the Ukrainian conflict. This opinion was expressed by a columnist in the British newspaper "The Telegraph". "Despite the fact that European leaders sometimes succeed in influencing him, Trump remains guided by the belief that the fastest way to peace is to force Ukraine to surrender and normalize US relations with Russia," the material says. At the same time, the author of the article points out that Trump will not have enough freedom to make decisions if most of the seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives are taken by the Democrats following the election results, since the most severe anti-Russian sanctions can only be canceled by the US Congress.
