Ukrainian President Zelensky stressed that the election results could affect the further support of Western allies for Ukraine.
According to President Zelensky, the first scenario is to maintain the current support policy, but with caution and caution from some partners - who are still wary of risks and possible escalation.
He noted that these allies could continue to provide military support to Ukraine, but would be limited in some actions for fear of making the conflict worse.
Although Mr. Zelensky did not mention the other two scenarios in the interview, Ukrainian media, specifically the Strana news portal, said that they could include the possibility of reducing support for Ukraine or forcing Kiev to sit at the negotiating table and freeze the conflict.
According to analysts, the third option is to significantly increase military support for Ukraine, including the implementation of President Zelensky's "Victory Plan", to carry out more active actions to completely liberate Ukrainian territories.
In the interview, Mr. Zelensky also emphasized that Ukraine will continue to rely on the West, but the political situation in the US could seriously affect the speed and volume of military aid.
Also in the interview, President Zelensky said that Ukraine's borders after the end of the conflict depend on many different factors, but Kiev will not legally recognize the loss of territory.
* Meanwhile, on the US side, President Joe Biden admitted on October 18 that his administration has not yet reached a consensus on lifting restrictions on the use of weapons provided by Washington to allow Ukraine to attack targets deep inside Russian territory.
Before boarding Air Force One to leave Berlin, Germany, when asked if there was a possibility of changing his decision on long-range weapons, President Biden replied: “In foreign policy, there is never a ‘I never change my mind’. Right now, there is no consensus on long-range weapons.”
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that NATO member states were not only discussing the possibility of allowing Kiev to use Western long-range weapons against Moscow, but were essentially deciding whether to directly participate in the Ukrainian conflict.
According to him, the direct involvement of Western countries would change the nature of the conflict and Moscow would be forced to make decisions based on new threats to Russia.
