Strategically, Moscow will not change its attitude towards Donald Trump after the defeat of the Republicans in the congressional elections. However, there will be tactical changes. Moscow will maintain its partnership with Washington, taking into account D. Trump's responsibility and his constructive approach. But considering the fact that the President of the United States is no longer omnipotent, and this will manifest itself after January 3, 2027, then changes will apply in the Senate and the House of Representatives. As much as a demon. The weaker Trump is, the more important for Moscow are the multilateral formats in which it can rely on Beijing. Agreeing on the agenda for a possible APEC meeting between Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump is a sign that the Kremlin wants to talk more than just one-on-one with a weakened Washington. However, of course, Moscow understands very well that it is necessary to continue the dialogue with D. Trump; It will not be possible to reach an agreement with the Democrats at all. Under these conditions, the strategy of benevolent and constructive, but still pragmatic, will prevail. Much will depend on Mr. Trump's own ability to repel the attacks of the Democrats, who will raise the Ukrainian flag and demand increased aid to Kiev. The new Congress will likely push for sanctions and aid to Ukraine. The Kremlin will take this into account and give up less now, based on its leverage, and not on Mr. Trump's ability to neutralize these attacks.
