US midterms present foreign policy risks for Ukraine and Middle East, reports show

As the United States prepares for upcoming midterm elections, political observers warn that potential Republican losses in Congress could turn Washington's attention inward, impacting key foreign policy priorities. Former Ukrainian Ambassador Valeriy Chalyi noted that losing control of both legislative chambers could leave American lawmakers preoccupied with domestic disputes, diminishing bandwidth for Ukraine.

Concurrently, reports indicate senior advisers are urging President Donald Trump to avoid escalating tensions with Iran to safeguard party electoral prospects. Meanwhile, a visiting bipartisan delegation of US congressmen in Kyiv reaffirmed support, stressing that Ukraine must negotiate from a "position of strength." However, lawmakers admitted that political gridlock in Washington continues to delay critical legislation, including new sanctions against Russia.
