NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has denied that the Republicans' advance in U.S. midterm elections would undermine Western military backing for Ukraine. Following talks with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Stoltenberg also vowed on November 9 that the alliance "will continue to support (Ukraine) around Kherson," after Russia ordered its troops to withdraw from the southern city. The NATO secretary-general said he could not comment in detail on the ongoing count from the U.S. elections for Congress but told reporters "it's absolutely clear that there is strong bipartisan support in the United States for continued support for Ukraine."
