The Council explained why Ukraine should not rush to conclusions after Trump's statements

The latest statements by U.S. President Donald Trump about Ukraine should be evaluated calmly and in the context of the internal pre-election fight in the United States. The head of the parliamentary committee on foreign policy, Oleksandr Merezhko, believes that after the midterm elections in Congress the balance of power may change.

This was said by Oleksandr Merezhko.

According to the deputy, it is important to wait for the completion of the U.S. midterm elections on 3 November. He connects Trump's current rhetoric with the sharp domestic political struggle.

Merezhko emphasized that the stakes for the American president in these elections are very high. In his assessment, the configuration of power in Congress may change, and not in Trump's favor.

That is why the parliamentarian advises not to perceive every loud statement by the American president as a final signal about the United States' further policy. He expects that after 3 November new opportunities may appear for Ukraine.

Separately, Merezhko stressed the importance of preserving bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States. In his view, this should remain one of Kyiv's key tasks regardless of the course of the internal struggle in the United States.

Recently, Trump has made several statements that stirred resonance. In particular, 9 in October he stated that he had reached an agreement with Vladimir Putin on immediate supplies of hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel fuel to the American and world markets.

Trump also expressed the view that Putin is more interested in concluding a deal than Volodymyr Zelensky. At the same time, European leaders are preparing to demand tougher sanctions against Russia at the European Council meeting.
