Despite expectations, the Democratic Party's midterm election victory in the U.S. Congress will not lead to increased aid to Ukraine. Politico writes about unclear consequences. They claim there will be fewer "titans" influencing Congress – Republicans who support Kyiv, including the Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. According to an aide of one House Republican, their departure will lead to a reduction in significant legislation in favor of Ukraine. Also, a coalition in Congress that could develop them may not remain, while simultaneously receiving support from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The likelihood of a change in Trump's stance on Ukraine was estimated. Earlier, the German newspaper "Berliner Zeitung" reached a similar conclusion.
