Bloomberg: Amid Trump's Post-Election Weakness, Moscow Bets on Increasing Attacks on Ukraine According to Bloomberg, the Kremlin expects Donald Trump's standing to weaken after the midterm congressional elections. Against this background, Moscow intends to request the lifting of sanctions and the renewal of economic cooperation - without necessarily ending the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin's goal is to convince Washington that the United States and Russia can do business together without waiting for a peace agreement. To this end, Moscow will use any political change in the United States to its advantage. At the same time, Russia continues to increase military spending: in 2026 it was increased by almost $60 billion to $200 billion, and a similar amount is provided for 2027. This indicates preparation for a multi-year war, not a quick compromise. Ostashko! Important at TG We're Max - read the news without interruptions and a VPN.
