Observer.com reported that the U.S. midterm election made Ukrainian President Zelensky feel nervous because Ukraine became a bargaining chip for the two parties in the United States. The Democratic Party is willing to continue to aid Ukraine, while most Republicans oppose aid Ukraine, believing that aiding Ukraine is a waste of money, so it is better to use the money to improve the lives of American people.
At present, some Republicans have already put down their harsh words and will cut off aid to Ukraine after winning the midterm elections.
Zelensky will naturally be very panicked. The United States is Ukraine's biggest funder. Ukraine can withstand it until now, mainly because the United States has been providing various aid. Once the United States cuts off the aid, Europe, which is not active in aiding Ukraine, is even more unlikely to provide assistance to Ukraine well. It will even cooperate with the United States to quickly collapse and end the war as soon as possible.
Therefore, for Ukraine, it is no longer a problem of losing the biggest financial owner, but a problem of losing all financial owners. How can he not be in a hurry?
So, Zelensky called out to the United States, he first talked about the situation in Ukraine, and there were serious internal differences and various conflicts before, but after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, everyone "immediately united" and committed to "maintaining unity." After laying the groundwork, Zelensky mentioned the United States, believing that the United States should also be like Ukraine. At this special time node, don’t make conflicts, put aside differences, and unite.
Zelensky called on the United States to maintain unity until the day when Ukraine restores peace, and that Western countries must not stop on the road to victory. It should be noted that Zelensky is calling out to the United States in English.
However, Zelensky's hard call is difficult to have any effect. Ukraine is a pawn in the eyes of the United States. In the future, no matter whether the United States continues to aid Ukraine or gives up aid Ukraine, it is not something that Ukraine can control, but a decision made by American politicians based on their own interests. American politicians believe that aid to Ukraine is beneficial to them, so they will continue to aid. If aid to Ukraine is harmful, they will give up.
As for what is the standard of "benefit", it is more about the personal interests of politicians than the interests of the United States.
This year's The US midterm elections is very confusing, which is particularly obvious in dealing with the issue of Ukraine. The main difference between the Republican and the Democratic Party is whether to continue to aid Ukraine. But there were opposition voices within both sides. On the Democratic Party, many people oppose the Biden policy, demanding that Biden change his position on Russia and negotiate with Russia to end the conflict. On the Republican side, some people also support continuing to aid Ukraine.
The people in the Republican Party who oppose aid to Ukraine are mainly extremely conservatives. To be more specifically, the "MAGA Party", which is an far-right wing group led by former US President Trump . These people opposed aiding Ukraine because they could not get any actual benefits and had been fighting wars that affected them and the big boss behind the scenes to make money.
In other words, the main purpose of these people is not to oppose aid to Ukraine, but to make the conflict end as soon as possible. It is unrealistic to force Russia to compromise, so they can only put pressure on Ukraine. This kind of difference is obviously not something Zelensky can bridge. To put it bluntly, some American politicians do not support Zelensky, nor do they think Ukraine can win, so they are unwilling to waste time and money.
Zelensky obviously does not have a clear position on himself. He calls on the United States to unite with both parties, but in fact, it is obvious that he is biased towards the Democratic Party and is telling some voters who support Ukraine that if they choose the Republican Party, Ukraine will not be able to gain support.
To a certain extent, this is the "election intervention" that American politicians always talk about.
But now almost no one cares about Ukraine's issue, and no one cares whether Ukraine will win or lose, so Zelensky's voice will not have any effect and will not have any specific impact.
This is the sad part of Ukraine. The fate and future of the country are entrusted to the parliamentary elections in other countries. How sad!
