Vitaly Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, told The Daily Beast that President Trump would be able to unblock the funding in Washington and help Ukraine fight back.

KYIV—Vitaly Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv and former heavyweight champion of the world, won’t stand for any of the scare-mongering that is sweeping through Europe. Many fear that the election of, in Washington, D.C. and in Kyiv as Ukraine tries to work out how to survive until the U.S. election season is over.

He admits that he is disappointed that the U.S. has allowed Republican intransigence to hold Ukraine “a hostage” but he believes blue skies are ahead even in a scenario where Trump is returned to the White House with a Republican majority in Congress. “I don’t believe that Republicans have changed their political views to go for compromises with Russia regarding double standards of democracy,” he said. “Every politician today understands the key reason for this war was Ukraine’s desire to become a part of the European Union.”

He said the major difference under a Trump Administration might be “demanding a much greater burden-sharing from European allies,” which would also be welcomed in Kyiv. The Ukrainians cannot simply wait for the election period to pass: “Every day is a matter of survival,” Daria Kaleniuk, who co-founded the International Centre for Ukrainian Victory, told The Daily Beast.
