Upcoming US midterms spark concerns over foreign policy shifts

As the US midterm elections approach, shifting political dynamics in Washington threaten to alter American foreign policy priorities. Former Ukrainian Ambassador Valeriy Chalyi warned that if Republicans lose control of both houses of Congress, US lawmakers will likely pivot toward internal political battles, reducing focus on aid for Kyiv.

Simultaneously, White House advisers are reportedly encouraging President Donald Trump to avoid military escalation with Iran to safeguard Republican electoral prospects. Although a visiting bipartisan delegation of US congressmen in Kyiv pledged continued support for Ukraine to negotiate from a "position of strength," they acknowledged that domestic partisan gridlock continues to delay key legislative measures, including proposed sanctions against Russia.
