People are getting screwed every which way so any change seems like an opportunity for improvement. Even Ukraine was excited to see Biden leave office so they could at least have a chance for a better arrangement with America.

That doesn’t align with what I saw. Can you provide evidence? Because it was pretty clear to me that it would go exactly as it has, which is pretty terribly for Ukraine.

It was in an Economist article sometime around December; unfortunately I canceled my subscription because of their screen-hijacking ads, so I'm not able to find it. Problem was, Ukraine was being chipped away slowly by Russia and Biden wasn't giving them more aid. The thought was that Trump may shake things up a bit so they at least had a chance to improve their situation. Obviously that hope was misplaced, but Biden was too afraid of provoking of Russia to do anything but slow them down. Ukraine knew they were suffering a slow death, so basically any change was reason for hope.
