UNIAN, OP photo, UNIAN (Nadya Prishlyak) The statements of the President of the United States of America Donald Trump should be perceived critically and calmly, because “the situation after 3 will change, new opportunities will appear.” This is what Oleksandr Merezhko, a member of parliament from Servant of the People and the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy and Interparliamentary Cooperation, said in a comment to UNIAN.
Answering a question about the weight and impact of Trump’s latest statements on Ukraine, the parliamentarian noted that “we need to live through until 3 November, that is, until the moment of the conclusion of the midterm elections in the United States.”
“Everything that is happening, and Trump’s statements, should be analyzed in the context of this very sharp internal election campaign. Because Trump understands that a lot is at stake for him. And in Congress the balance of power may change — not in Trump’s favor,” Merezhko said.
He stressed, indeed, that all these statements should be perceived quite critically and calmly, because “the situation after 3 November will change, new opportunities will appear.” “And for now it is better to take it at least calmly,” the deputy emphasized, adding that it is important for Ukraine to maintain bipartisan support.
What Trump said
As UNIAN reported, Trump has recently made several loud statements. In particular, 9 in October he stated that he had agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia would immediately supply hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel to the American and world markets.
Trump also expressed the view that Putin seeks more than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to strike a deal.
At the same time European leaders are preparing to demand stronger sanctions against Russia at the European Council meeting. This puts them in opposition to Trump after concluding an agreement on easing restrictions on the export of Russian diesel fuel.
