Kremlin Hopes Trump Will Continue ‘Peacemaking’ Efforts in Ukraine as Democrats Win Control of Congress
Peskov said Moscow expects Trump to keep pushing peace efforts as U.S. envoys prepare new talks and Democrats gain control of Congress.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, U.S. voters will elect all 435 House members, with Democrats favored to flip control for the first time since 2020 and potentially reshape Washington's foreign policy on Ukraine aid and Russia sanctions.
- President Donald Trump has pursued warmer relations with the Kremlin, recently easing sanctions on Russian diesel and delaying $400 million in military assistance; Ukraine now faces disruptions in Patriot air defense shipments and intelligence support.
- Even if Democrats win a majority, they must overcome a 60-vote filibuster threshold in the Senate to pass legislation, and President Trump wields powerful veto rights over any assistance or sanction bills.
- Mike Levin, a Democratic representative for California's 49th congressional district, vowed to "use every legislative and oversight tool available to hold this administration accountable and ensure Ukraine receives the security assistance it needs to defend itself."
- The Ukrainian President warned that many economic deals with Russia now depend on the election results, while experts note that even if Congress passes aid, President Trump could ignore it afterward.
