Former US Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense In an article for Substack, Stephen Bryan points out three possible scenarios for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Donald Trump's return to the White House. According to the expert, if the administration of the current US president, Joe Biden, does not have time to reach an agreement on providing additional aid to Ukraine with the "still friendly Congress", the authorities in Kiev will face a difficult choice: "or negotiate with Russia, to accept defeat or to resign”, quoted by Focus.
Brian recalls that the US has about six billion dollars left to support Kiev, which the current administration intends to use by January 20. However, there is no certainty that Democrats will be able to push a new package through Congress before Trump takes office. If he opposes additional aid to Ukraine, "which is entirely possible", the Republican could ask House members to delay consideration of the issue until his administration takes office, Bryan added.
