Vladimir Zelenskyy’s popularity in Washington has noticeably decreased, which may affect the prospect of further support for Kiev. This was stated by The New York Times (NYT).
The publication points out that ‘Vladimir Zelenskyy’s star power has faded in Washington.’ This could have potentially negative consequences for further US military aid to Ukraine, the piece notes.
According to The New York Times, 26 September, the Ukrainian politician ‘received much more restrained’ than in his past visits to the United States. Few US lawmakers attended the meeting with Zelenskyy, and the leaders of the US Congress ‘did nothing to raise the profile of the Ukrainian president’s visit’, the report said.
We shall remind you that earlier the Politico newspaper said that some Republican Party supporters of Ukraine regarded Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s trip to a military plant in Scranton in Pennsylvania as an attempt by the politician to influence the US domestic political process.
