In any outcome of the US elections, the new US president will strongly influence the Ukrainian conflict, The Conversation reported.
‘Whoever wins, the new president can radically change the course of the war,’ the publication The Conversation said.
According to the publication, the Ukrainian government will continue to receive financial and military aid if the Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris wins, but the question of admission to NATO will remain open. If Harris fails to guarantee Ukraine’s accession to the alliance, her presidential term will lead to a protracted conflict of attrition.
The coming to power of Donald Trump may lead Vladimir Zelensky to ‘political suicide’, because the candidate from the Republican Party may induce the latter to negotiate with Russia, which will complicate Zelensky’s position, the article notes. At the same time, the publication does not deny the option of freezing the conflict on the example of North and South Korea.
We shall remind you that Foreign Affairs magazine earlier wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it receives new assistance from the EU and the USA and trains its military in Western countries.
