As US midterm elections progressed, Zelensky became a little softer. He expressed his opinion yesterday that he hopes that the American political circles can continue to unite and support Ukraine. He is actually worried that once the Republican Party wins the midterm election, the US will lose its aid to Ukraine. Since the war began, Americans have spent $60 million a day and $2.5 million a hour. Last year, Ukraine's military expenditure was only US$5.3 billion, while the combined economic aid, military aid, humanitarian aid, and so on has reached US$53 billion (this data comes from Ukraine's representative to the United Nations). Moreover, temporary rental housing has just begun on October 1, and the 40 billion US dollars has not started to move.
This makes Republicans feel that they should not spend more money on Ukraine for Ukraine. Although the two parties have no fundamental differences on the issue of giving or not giving. Both parties feel that it is necessary to delay Russia by supporting Ukraine, which is depleting Russia, and it is politically correct. The key is how to give and how much to give, and the two parties have great differences. Because during the Afghan War , the US military discovered that $19 billion in aid funds had been misappropriated and the direction was unknown.
So once the Republicans win the midterm elections, they will significantly reduce aid to Ukraine, and a mechanism will be established to specifically review the direction of aid funds. Once every fund has to be tracked, it will be very troublesome for Ukraine. It is already impossible to deal with the war itself, and it is still responsible for auditing each fund. How can I have this energy?
In addition, Europeans have always followed the lead of Americans. Once the United States reduces, it is possible that the United States will reduce by 10%, and Europe will reduce by 30%. So this is the thing Ukraine is most worried about at the moment.
