Zelensky on Böhmermann: US election could help Ukraine
Published
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Jan Böhmermann about the outcome of the US election. In his assessment, the result could be advantageous for Ukraine. The topic is important for Germany because US and European support for Kyiv has played a central role since the beginning of Russia's war of aggression.
President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that he wants to end the war quickly. Observers note, however, that so far he has been exerting more pressure on Ukraine than on Russia. This raises questions in Kyiv and in European capitals about what conditions would apply to possible negotiations.
Zelensky made clear that decisions in the US Congress are of great significance. If Congress decides similarly to previous aid packages, this could stabilise Ukraine's military and financial situation. Whether and to what extent this will happen, however, remains open.
The Ukrainian president's statements show how strongly the war in Ukraine depends on political decisions in the West. For readers in Germany, it therefore remains important how the future policy of the United States will affect peace, security and Europe's support.
