The Kremlin says it hopes the results of the US midterm elections will not affect what it described as "President Donald Trump's efforts to bring about peace". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says: "We sincerely trust (Trump) to continue his efforts to bring peace," according to what was published in the official Russian media. The statements come after Democrats won control of the House and Senate of the US Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections. It is expected that in the coming days there will be trilateral talks between the USA, Russia and Ukraine as part of the efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
