The Kremlin commented on the US election results

In an interview with the Russian TASS agency, Peskov emphasized that Trump is still president of the United States.

We sincerely expect that he will also continue his efforts for peace, said the Kremlin spokesman.

He added that another round of trilateral talks would take place "soon." This concerns the negotiations to be held on November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi between the US, Russia and Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Tuesday during a press conference in Berlin that trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US will be held in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. Their organization was previously confirmed by White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and the Kremlin itself.

The Kremlin spokesman also assessed that the peace efforts of US first lady Melania Trump "were successful." Peskov thus referred to the successful evacuation of the population of Oleski in the Kherson Oblast.

We hope that all this will continue, Peskov noted.

When asked whether the US Congress could make it difficult for the president to implement his plans to end the conflict, Peskov refused to comment.

This is America's internal matter, he said.

Democrats take control of Congress

Democrats won a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This means that from January 2027, they will control both houses of Congress for the last two years of Donald Trump's presidency.

Democrats will have 54 seats in the Senate, and Republicans 44. Democrats also exceeded the required threshold of 218 seats, guaranteeing a majority in the House of Representatives.

The Democratic majority can make it more difficult for Trump to implement his legislative agenda, conduct congressional investigations and exercise the right to summon administration representatives for hearings. However, the president will retain his veto power, and Democrats will not have the two-thirds majority needed to reject it.
