A Democratic congressional victory in the US midterms is assessed to increase the likelihood of sustained US military aid to Ukraine, creating legislative friction with President Trump's stated preference for a negotiated settlement with Russia. While the executive branch retains diplomatic control, Congress is preparing legislative mechanisms, including a potential $15 billion security aid package, to counter Trump's foreign policy stance. The Kremlin, however, downplays the impact of the US election shift on Trump's Ukraine negotiations, suggesting a prolonged stalemate in Russia-Ukraine talks.
