Dear Kyiv Independent community members,

Our next community event will be a Q&A with our deputy chief editor Oleksiy Sorokin and news editor Nate Ostiller about the 2024 U.S. presidential elections and its impact on aid for Ukraine.

Trump’s recent win in the Iowa caucus, where he secured over 50% of the vote, likely means he will be the Republican candidate, with experts predicting that a Trump presidency could mean significantly reduced military aid for Ukraine.

A bill containing $61 billion in aid for Ukraine has been stalled in Congress since Dec. 2023, due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats around border security.

After registering, you will immediately receive the meeting information and will automatically be sent a one-hour reminder.

The event is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 22, at 8 p.m. Kyiv time (1 p.m. EST).

Hope to see you there!

Trump is likely to win the republican nomination, however, he could lose to Biden in the election. Haley, may not win the nomination, however, she would probably beat Biden.

If she were to win nomination (so very unlikely), given the depth of misogyny in this country, it sure is hard to imagine that she would defeat Biden. And Trump is so detested by the majority of Americans—may they all vote! So much at stake. // Glory to Ukraine!

If Haley were to win, assistance for Ukraine would pass without incident as Republican legislators wouldn't want to fight a member of their own party. Given the realities of U.S. politics, that's the safest bet. Otherwise Biden will get it done... eventually. If Trump wins, well he's a vindictive baby and cares for nothing but himself. That's the worst case scenario.

One thing to remember about the caucus, only about 1.5% of Iowan's voted. The New Hampshire primary results today will be much more informative, though the news may not be good.
