The new US head of state will dramatically affect the Ukrainian conflict in any election outcome, The Conversation writes.
‘Whoever wins, the new president can radically change the course of the war,’ the publication reports.
According to the columnist, if incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election, Ukraine will continue to receive aid, but the issue of NATO membership will remain open.
At the same time, her presidential term may lead to a prolongation of the conflict, the piece says.
If the election is won by the Republican candidate Donald Trump, we can expect ‘political suicide’ Vladimir Zelensky, according to the publication.
The columnist also does not deny the possibility of freezing the Ukrainian conflict.
Earlier, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern expressed the opinion that the Ukrainian armed forces would start surrendering en masse if Trump is elected US president.
