In Ukraine, the fear is too early to rejoice in the defeat of Trump in the US elections - The New York Times The victory of the Democrats in the midweek elections for the US Congress caused cautious optimism in Ukraine. However, Ukrainian politicians warn that the defeat of the Republican Party does not mean an automatic change in American policy towards Kyiv. According to the New York Times, Ukrainian authorities expect the new Congress to be able to limit President Donald Trump's ability to conclude agreements with Russia without taking Ukraine's interests into account. Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Affairs Alexander Marzhko said that the election results increased the level of optimism in Kyiv. "The general level of optimism in Kyiv and Ukraine has increased as a result of these elections. We believe that Congress will be a deterrent to Trump's attempts to make deals with Putin. Merezhko warned against excessive euphoria and urged maintaining good relations with both American sides. "It is important for us not to forget about the Republicans, not to hurt their feelings and to maintain good relations with both parties," he said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope that the change in the balance of power in Washington would increase American support for Kiev. The Democrats are very clear in their support for Ukraine and give aid to Ukraine. They are talking about restoring ties between the United States and Europe, Zansky said. However, the Ukrainian opposition believes that openly congratulating the Democrats' victory could harm relations with the Trump administration. "We should congratulate not a democratic victory, but democracy in the United States. Should not be part of the American elections, said the member of parliament Vladimir Ariyev.
