Ukrainian President Zelenskyy wrapped up his European tour in Berlin after meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. During the tour, Zelenskyy presented his peace plan, aiming to end the war in Ukraine by 2025. Chancellor Scholz promised new military aid worth €1.4 billion, including air defense systems and weapons, along with €170 million for Ukraine’s energy system.
Zelenskyy’s visit to the US, originally scheduled for a meeting with President Biden at the Ramstein airbase, was postponed due to a hurricane on the East coast. With the US election looming, experts suggest that Ukraine may be feeling nervous as support could wane if Trump wins. The potential for Ukraine to join NATO, and whether it would be the whole country or only parts not occupied by Russian forces, will likely depend on the election outcome.
The uncertainty surrounding the rescheduled meeting with President Biden and the impending US election leaves Ukraine in a state of anticipation. As the polls show a tight race between Trump and Harris, the future of US support for Ukraine remains uncertain. Zelenskyy’s diplomatic efforts in Europe have yielded promises of assistance, but the ultimate success of his peace plan and Ukraine’s positioning within NATO will likely hinge on the outcome of the election in November.
