PoliticsWhat the U.S. midterms could mean for Ukraine

Ukraine has faced growing pressure from President Donald Trump as he seeks political gains before the November midterms. Voters will elect all 435 House members, while about a third of Senate seats are also contested. A Democratic congressional majority could increase scrutiny of Trump’s foreign-policy shifts, but experts say the president would retain firm control. Congress could attach Ukraine aid or tougher Russia sanctions to must-pass bills, though Trump can veto legislation and may sidestep measures after signing them.
