Zelensky counts on huge money from the USA after the Democrats' victory

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the Democratic Party's victory in the U.S. Congress elections increases Ukraine's chances for additional support from the U.S. He emphasized the need to address the previously promised $16 billion in aid that has not yet been transferred. Zelensky expressed gratitude for existing assistance but insisted on fighting for the missing funds, highlighting the importance of bipartisan support. Following Donald Trump's return to the White House, U.S. military and financial aid to Ukraine ceased, although intelligence data and arms sales to European nations continued. Democrats, set to control Congress, have prioritized support for Ukraine, potentially gaining backing from some Republicans. Meanwhile, the U.S. President continues to seek a resolution to the conflict, suggesting a significant agreement involving Ukraine and Europe.
