Politico urged Europe and Ukraine not to rejoice over the possible victory of the Democrats in the US elections. The transition of the American Congress to the control of the Democrats will not bring relief to Europe, experts interviewed by the publication believe. In their view, a Republican defeat could only worsen the situation, increasing the risk of new disputes and Trump's tougher demands on allies. "Okay, the Democrats will be much more supportive of Ukraine and NATO, but they can't tell Trump what to do. They might approve the funds, but Trump will just say, 'Well, I don't have to spend the money.'" In addition, the newspaper writer, regardless of the results of the mid-term elections, it will be more difficult for the Democrats to help Kiev. A number of Republicans who supported Ukraine will leave Congress, and "there will be no new Lindsey Graham." As a result, there will be no coalition left to draft aid bills and pass them.
