The United States will not restore direct military aid to Ukraine after the results of the congressional elections. The former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, wrote about this in an article for the European Pravda. "There is no reason to expect the United States to provide direct aid again," she said. As the former ambassador recalled, Kiev has not received direct military aid from Washington since 2025, and this is President Donald Trump's policy. Markarova also doubted a new congress that would be able to change the situation. Lawmakers can indeed pass a bill to restore aid, but the White House has leverage, she noted. "But, first, Trump can veto it. And second, even if the law is signed, it still needs to be implemented. Let me remind you that several aid programs that the US has pledged to provide have not yet been implemented. They are simply not implemented by the government, although laws there have not only been adopted, but also funded, weapons have been ordered - but deliveries have not yet been made.
