The US Republicans' policy opens new opportunities for Ukraine - expert.
Expert Ihor Popov stated that the policy to be pursued by Donald Trump and his Republican Party will differ from the policy of Joe Biden and his Democratic Party. According to the expert, this poses risks for Ukraine but also opens new opportunities.
Ihor Popov emphasized that Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump have their own relationship. He reminded of the leaders' meeting in September, during which an optimistic statement was made. Trump expressed respect for Zelensky and his position regarding events in Ukraine related to Biden and Trump. Zelensky remained neutral but understood that Ukraine needed support from both parties to receive assistance.
It is important to note that Zelensky and Trump had a conversation immediately after the presidential election results were announced. Trump stated that he intends to stop the war, while Zelensky proposes a peaceful settlement with US support. The expert believes that these negotiations could lead to security guarantees, funding, and military support for Ukraine. Also significant for Ukraine is the information about Trump's call to Putin, where he prevents escalation against Ukraine and reminds of the presence of US military forces in Europe.
