The main challenge for Ukraine in the event of Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential elections lies in the likelihood that Washington will not engage in foreign policy for an extended period, including assistance to our country.
This is stated by Oleksandr Kraiev, an analyst at the Ukrainian Prism center. "The main challenge is that for quite a long time, up to six months, maybe more, the United States will be busy trying to digest Trump and his new reforms. And it will not be clear whether Washington will be able to engage in foreign policy during this period, to help Ukraine and other partners. One way or another, Trump will be problematic and a crisis. But I will not say that this is an apocalyptic scenario for us," Kraiev added.
In his opinion, Trump will be problematic and crisis-ridden anyway, but it is unlikely to be an apocalyptic scenario for Ukraine.
"We can see how his rhetoric can change. However, the point is that for us he is not so predictable as Biden," added the analyst.
Ukraine will be particularly attentive to the elections in the United States. Including because Trump's promise to "end the war" within 24 hours and hints at stopping aid cause concern.
Although lately he has softened his rhetoric, and Republicans, who have blocked a $60 billion package, have picked up his idea and are preparing a bill that would partially close Ukraine's military needs on credit terms. In any case, his possible victory will be a challenge for Ukraine.
The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024. According to forecasts, the main candidate from the Democrats will be the incumbent American leader Joe Biden.
From the Republicans, besides Donald Trump, former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley took part in the race, but she withdrew from the race in early March.
