The Kremlin expressed its hope that the United States will continue to pursue peace between Ukraine and Russia after the election.
After the US Democratic Party won control of the Senate and House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, it has announced that aid to Ukraine will be a priority for the new Congress after taking office in January next year. Faced with the possibility that the United States will re-strengthen its support for Kiev, Russia has taken a calm attitude and only expressed the hope that the United States' efforts to pursue peace will not be affected.
When asked whether the US election results will hinder Washington from mediating in assisting Ukraine-Russia negotiations? Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded that the basic conditions and environment for peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia are now in place, including a new round of trilateral talks between the United States, Ukraine and Russia that will be held in Abu Dhabi. Russia hopes that U.S. President Trump will continue to work hard to pursue peace.
Peskov also praised U.S. First Lady Melania Trump for her efforts and contributions in securing a partial ceasefire in the Ukrainian town of Oleshky, which was in a humanitarian crisis, so that humanitarian relief supplies could be delivered. Melania was also awarded the Ukrainian national honor "Order of Princess Olga" (First Class Order of Princess Olga).
As for whether the new Congress will challenge Trump's stance on Ukraine-Russia affairs? Peskov only said that "this is an internal matter of the United States" and did not want to answer further.
