Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an interview with Germany's ZDF television on November 4, 2026, expressed hope that the Democratic Party’s gains in the U.S. midterm elections would generate more support and assistance for Ukraine in its war against Russia. The Democrats now control both chambers of Congress, which Zelenskyy believes could lead to stronger financial and military aid from the US. He also noted that increased pressure on Russia might influence President Vladimir Putin to consider negotiations for peace. Tensions had risen recently due to U.S. President Donald Trump's dealings with Russia, easing sanctions in exchange for Russian diesel release, which worried Ukraine and its European allies. Upcoming talks between Ukraine and Russia, mediated by the US, are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi.
