Statement following the midterm elections

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, commented on the results of the US midterm elections, expressing hope that the new composition of Congress will continue the policy of supporting Ukraine. According to Anadolu, at a press conference in Brussels she stated: “Yes, of course, American voters have clearly made their choice,” adding that she hopes for continued support for Ukraine and increased pressure on Russia from the new Congress and Senate.

The essence of Brussels' position

Kallas emphasized the importance of transatlantic cooperation, noting that “Europe and the US are much stronger together.” In her words, the pressure should send Russia a clear signal that it must end the war. She also added that the European Union now has to watch how the internal political situation in the US develops, but it is fundamentally important to keep pressuring Russia even during the transition period — this was reported, citing the ANSA agency, by Gazeta.Ru.

Election context and related reports

According to major American media outlets cited by Anadolu, President Donald Trump and the Republican Party suffered a major defeat in Tuesday's elections: Democrats are projected to regain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Life.ru, citing Politico , notes that the voting results brought relief to European capitals after two years of strained relations with the Trump administration, although the White House's future policy remains unpredictable. On the same day, as reported by Gazeta.Ru, it became known that a meeting of technical delegations from the European Union, the United Kingdom, the US and the World Bank on resolving the Ukrainian conflict ended without results; earlier, the US ambassador to NATO denied statements claiming that Trump is closer to Putin than to Europe.
