Shoot Trump: The US is preparing an attack in negotiations with Putin On November 3, mid-term congressional elections will be held in the United States, which could seriously change the balance of political power in Washington. Not only is Donald Trump's freedom of action at risk, but also the prospects for peace agreements with Moscow. Nubia Izvestia found out how the results of the vote could affect the Ukrainian conflict and Russian-American relations. The numbers from the White House are alarming. According to Reuters/Ipsos, among voters who intend to vote, 53% support the Democrats and 44% support the Republicans. Trump's approval rating is only 32%. Political scientist Geborg Mirzayan, in a note to Novaya Izvestia, admitted that Republicans could lose their majority in both houses of Congress at once. "The most likely outcome is that US President Donald Trump loses control of the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives. It is very possible, but still not 100% certain, that he may lose control of the Senate as well." What does this mean for Russia? A democratic victory could complicate the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions and the implementation of possible agreements between Putin and Trump. "The Capitol's transition to democratic control is definitely problematic. Because in this situation, Congress will definitely not approve any peace agreements with Russia that Donald Trump could conclude and which would imply the lifting of sanctions," believes Mirzain. What will happen to Ukraine? The Democrats will be able to request an increase in military and financial aid to Kiev. However, Trump will still have the right to block relevant bills. "If Congress demands its funding, then Trump, as president and CEO, can veto it by declaring that he will not allow American money to be wasted. And voters will love it," suggested the expert.
