Although personalities do play a role in history, Ukraine shouldn’t worry about them. Neither Trump nor Biden – whoever wins the U.S. presidential election – will be able to make a U-turn in relations with Ukraine. That’s because the change of the country’s course depends not only on the president (despite his special and important powers in the field of foreign policy), but also on other players who influence the development of American foreign policy: the Senate, Congress, parties, the State Department, the U.S. Department of Defense, intelligence community, etc. That is, it’s a consolidated position, and no president can react sharply to it.
