“We must be prepared for the fact that under Trump’s presidency, U.S. support will have to be bought again. We have already experienced this model during his previous term.”

Alyona Getmanchuk, Director of the New Europe Center, shared her thoughts on the possible next term of Donald Trump. The return of the “new old” president to the White House causes unease in almost all world capitals that are somehow connected to Washington. This is especially true for Kyiv, for which U.S. aid is crucial in the war against Russia.

Over the past six months, Ukraine has effectively become a hostage to the electoral race between the two key candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties. “As long as Ukraine remains in a situation where the candidates are Trump or Biden, we will be hostages to their emotional perception of our country,” added Alyona Getmanchuk.

Other important questions that may arise in the event of Trump’s return include:

• What kind of support will Ukraine receive in resisting Russian aggression (with two opposing scenarios considered)?

• What will be the U.S. position regarding its role in the Alliance?

• How will China, rather than Russia, be perceived as the greater threat?

The publication New Voice, together with foreign and domestic experts, tried to analyze what Ukraine can expect if Donald Trump wins the next presidential election.
