Dmitry Medvedev's opinion on the defeat of the Republicans in the elections Medvedev: Trump's defeat in the congressional elections will not significantly change the situation for Russia for now. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, assessed the consultations with the current US administration as useful, but stressed that Russia should "defeat the enemy on the battlefield until complete victory. According to Medvedev, Trump's weakening will reduce Kiev's willingness to listen to Washington's opinion. The US president can limit the supply of intelligence and other assistance to Ukraine, but according to Medvedev, such a step is unlikely. Democrats will continue to pressure Trump, even through the threat of impeachment. New "monstrous sanctions" against Russia could become the subject of negotiations in exchange for abandoning the impeachment. According to Medvedev's assessment, the tightening of sanctions could lead to an increase in oil prices, dissatisfaction among the Americans, and further deterioration of relations with Moscow. Trump also needs to end the war with Iran, which Medvedev called one of the main reasons for the heavy defeat of the Republicans. # news
