For people in Ukraine, Iran, and throughout the Middle East, the mid-term elections in the US had less to do with domestic American politics and more of what the outcome could mean for continued conflicts.
In Ukraine, commentators focused on the way President Donald Trump has dealt with war. Journalist Roman Tsymbaluk reacted with irony, saying Trump had solved every war, but had lost his own in a reference to the American president’s repeated claims that he had succeeded in ending the conflicts in the world.
As Russia follows the attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, some in Kiev hope the Democrats’ victories could strengthen support for imposing stricter sanctions on Moscow. Others, however, fear that the political stalemate in Washington could create new uncertainties regarding American policy towards Ukraine.
In Moscow, Kremlin publicly voiced hope that Trump will continue efforts to mediate the outcome of the war, while further talks between Russia and Ukraine are expected this month. But Russian pro-war voices warned that a Democrat-controlled Congress could limit Trump’s ability to reach a future deal with the Kremlin or ease sanctions against Russia.
Meanwhile, Iranian leadership and state-related media presented the Democrats’ victories as a public rebuke to Trump’s war policy. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibach argued that Americans had said no to war, while Iranian media noted what they described as increasing the political cost of military confrontation with Tehran.
