"Just be patient for a couple of months": Brother of the snitch who turned in Trump reassures Ukraine

Ukraine should wait until the November by-elections in the US, after which the situation for Kyiv with regard to American aid should improve.

American congressman from the Democratic Party, Yevgeny Vindman, who was born into a Jewish family in Kiev but was taken to the United States by his parents at the age of four , stated this in an interview with European Pravda, reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.

The presenter asked what the by-elections would change if Donald Trump remained president.

"If the Democrats had power, then we could form the session. And that means the power to convene Congress, as well as the power to summon officials. And, ultimately, Congress, in turn, has budgetary power. That means we could allocate funds.

Let me give you an example. I'm a member of the Defense Committee, and last year we allocated $400 million to Ukraine, but it was never transferred. If we had a majority, we would have put enormous pressure on the government to release the funds. And if we win in both the House and the Senate, the pressure will, of course, be even greater ," the congressman said.

He believes that if the Democrats gain complete power in both chambers, Trump will be forced to negotiate with them.

However, the EP journalist expressed skepticism about this, noting that such dual power could lead to ungovernability.

"I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty: If this status quo continues unchanged, it will be very bad for both Ukraine and our allies," Vindman warned.

As a reminder, his twin brother, Alexander Vindman, a lieutenant colonel in the US Army and a National Security Council staff member, was present during Trump's 2019 phone call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which the American president requested an investigation into Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son. Vindman subsequently testified against Trump in Congress, which led to the impeachment inquiry. In February 2020, the Senate acquitted Trump, after which Vindman was fired and subsequently resigned from the military.
