US support for Ukraine to continue after elections, says ambassador

Brink expressed confidence in the clear support for Ukraine among American citizens. The new administration will listen to the American people and uphold democratic values, she believes.

"How this support will translate into political decisions — I don't know, I can't predict that, because each administration has its own strategies and rights to decide, but when there is clear support, I am convinced that our support for Ukraine will continue," said the diplomat.

The United States wants to see Ukraine as a strong partner in the alliance for democratic values.

"I can't predict the future, give a direct answer to the question, but I am convinced that support for Ukraine will continue. I am convinced of democracy and America's interest in Ukraine," Brink added.

U.S. presidential election

U.S. President Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he was withdrawing from the Nov. 5, 2024, election. He also proposed Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate. She has expressed willingness to participate in the election.

On July 22, it was reported that all 50 Democratic Party state chairs supported Kamala Harris as the new presidential candidate for the party.

Harris secured the necessary number of delegate votes to officially become the Democratic presidential candidate on Aug. 2.

Kamala Harris officially confirmed her intention to run for president as the Democratic candidate on Aug. 22.

Politico reported on Sept. 7 that some high-ranking Republicans fear Trump might lose his chance to regain his footing in the presidential race during debates with Harris, especially if he resorts to personal attacks.

A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll released on Sept. 26 indicated that Kamala Harris had a slight lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump in six "critical swing states."

The Hill reported on Oct. 12 that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had improved his chances of winning, while Democrat Kamala Harris had begun to lose her lead.

Reuters reported on Oct. 18 that Kamala Harris was changing her campaign strategy due to concerns about Donald Trump's success, aiming to attract more male and Republican voters.
