German economist Janis Kluge does not expect significant changes for Russia after the Republican defeat in the midterm elections, but Donald Trump may continue to benefit Moscow. "I don't think these elections will change anything significant for Russia. Before that, the conclusion of an agreement was unrealistic, and after the events in Alaska, Putin completely registered Trump as a serious strategic player. Trump will still be useful to Russia, but only to weaken the West and destabilize it, not to forge a real deal. It is debatable whether the Kremlin saw Trump as more than just an opportunity to destabilize that stability than the West 20. Trump's first term was so disappointing for Moscow," Kluge writes in X.
