The fear of a new escalation of the conflict in Ukraine was very visible.

This is what Vanya Eftimova - a journalist and professor of strategy at the US Naval War College - said to BNT, regarding the incident with the fallen missile in Eastern Poland, which led to the death of two Polish citizens.

"We see visible relief that the crisis has not escalated after all. There is a lot of support for the Biden government. He is not the most popular president at the moment, but there is support for his restraint. We see that the Republicans also support this restraint," commented Eftimova.

According to her, on the American side, there is a great desire to restore contact with Russia

There will be consequences if it is a fact that the Republicans already have a majority in the lower house of the American Congress, added Eftimova.

"Republicans can't pass laws because they have to go through the Senate and the Democrats will block there, but when it comes to, for example, the budget or a new request for money for Ukraine, in the lower house the Republicans will have an opportunity to negotiate. They will be able to push through their requests," added Eftimova.

According to her, Donald Trump used the moment to announce his candidacy for the next president of the United States, but the Republicans are not enthusiastic about him.
