President Zelensky hopes support from United States continues after midterms

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked the United States, especially U.S. taxpayers, for the billions of dollars of military aid they provided to Ukraine and asked for it to continue.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with CNN, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Commenting on recent ‘mixed messages’ from Republican lawmakers regarding the reduction in aid to Ukraine if Republicans win control of the House in the midterms, Zelensky expressed hope that U.S. bipartisan support for the Ukrainian war effort would continue whatever the outcome.

“We are grateful for bipartisan support. We would really like to have this bipartisan support remain after the elections,” the President of Ukraine said.

In his words, it is very important to preserve this level of support, because the U.S. support sends “a very significant, powerful signal”.
