Zelenskiy Hopes US Election Outcome Will Generate More Help for Ukraine
Zelenskiy said Democratic control of Congress could bring more U.S. military and financial support, which he said would pressure Russia.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he hopes Democratic midterm election gains will generate more support for Ukraine in its 4-1/2-year war against Russia.
Zelenskiy has worked to smooth relations with President Donald Trump following a February 2025 meeting where he was called 'ungrateful,' even as Trump recently eased sanctions on Russia.
While grateful to Republicans, Zelenskiy said Democrats 'speak very clearly about supporting Ukraine,' and SpaceX's Starlink and Starshield services have resumed operations at previous levels for defense missions.
Zelenskiy stated that strong financial or military assistance 'will have an impact on Putin,' emphasizing the importance of renewing connections between the United States and Europe.
U.S.-Led trilateral talks regarding security and de-escalation are scheduled to resume in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, bringing together delegations from Ukraine and Russia after a months-long gap.
