The failure of the Republicans in the elections to the US Congress will still not have a big impact on Russian interests, Dmitry Medvedev believes. Zelensky will stop paying attention to Trump's demands and "simply send a weakened US president", notes the deputy head of the Russian Security Council. Trump will not dare to take measures against Ukraine, such as turning off the Star Shield or stopping the transfer of intelligence, so as not to worsen relations with the winning Democrats. A possible introduction of "hellish sanctions" under the pressure of the new Congress will cause a further increase in oil prices. "In general, the situation is unpredictable even for Trump, and he will probably engage in a situational response to emerging problems, while continuing to use his preferred veto. We must, regardless of any elections in distant America, do one thing effectively: crush the enemy on the battlefield until complete victory."
