Soon, Americans will take to the polls to choose their next president. The election pits Republican ex-President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator JD Vance against Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The winner of America’s election will have a profound impact on the safety, sovereignty, and future of Ukraine.
The differences between Trump and Vance are non-negligible. Harris would likely follow along a similar path to current president Joe Biden – but, according to some analysts, might be more assertive in support of Ukraine and against Russia. Walz, who has traditionally been more focused on domestic issues, has also been strongly supportive of Ukraine.

As America decides and Ukraine’s fate hangs in the balance, Kyiv Post’s Jeremy Dirac fills you in on some of the things to know about the candidates for US president.
