ウクライナ和平、遠のく可能性 「内政問題」と静観のロシア―米中間選挙反響

民主党の上下両院多数派奪還により、ロシアへの圧力強化や経済協力の停滞を懸念するプーチン政権

Quick Look

米中間選挙で民主党が上下両院で多数派を奪還したことを受け、ロシアのプーチン政権はウクライナ支援の強化や対ロ制裁緩和の停滞を警戒している。トランプ政権の求心力低下により、早期の経済協力は困難な見通しとなっている。

Why It Matters

トランプ米大統領は対ウクライナ支援をてこにして和平合意を目指す一方、民主党はトランプ政権のロシアへの譲歩を批判している。

Font size

ロシアのプーチン政権は米中間選挙を「内政問題」と位置付け、表面上は静観の構えを見せている。しかし米連邦議会で野党民主党が多数派を奪還したことで、ウクライナに対する支援が強化されれば、ロシアにとって痛手となる。

米中間選挙、共和大敗 民主、上下両院で多数派奪還―トランプ氏の求心力低下

トランプ米大統領はこれまで対ウクライナ支援をてこにして、同国のゼレンスキー大統領に和平を受け入れさせようとしてきた。一方の民主党は「トランプ政権はロシアに譲歩し過ぎている」と批判的な立場を取っており、ロシアが「外交解決は困難」とみて攻撃を激化させる可能性がある。

米ブルームバーグ通信は3日、ロシア大統領府筋の話として、ロシアは今後、米国の対ロ制裁のさらなる緩和を追求すると報じた。トランプ氏は10月、軽油価格抑制のため、プーチン大統領とロシア産軽油の供給で合意。米財務省は対ロ制裁を一部解除した。ロシアはこれを先例にしたい考えだが、トランプ氏が議会での主導権を喪失したことで、早期の経済協力は困難な見通しだ。

ロシアのラブロフ外相は10月末、選挙後の米ロ関係の展望を問われた際、「われわれは予測を仕事にしていない」と答えるにとどめている。

Reflecting the anger of the people: Kazuhiro Maejima, Professor at Sophia University - U.S. midterm elections, expert talk

The Democratic Party made great strides in the U.S. midterm elections, reflecting the public's anger toward the Trump administration. As dissatisfaction with tariffs and military operations against Iran surfaced, Democrats gained seats even in heavily Republican states. It takes 60 votes to block a filibuster in the Senate, but Democrats are not able to do so alone, and impeachment requires approval from two-thirds of the Senate. Trump's approval rating among Republican voters is over 80%, and impeachment risks dividing his support base. Even in the last midterm elections, the House of Representatives was dominated by Democrats, but Mr. Trump carried out his policies decisively. It is not the first time that the country has become a lame duck, but the mood is such that it is difficult to do as it pleases like in the past.
