TREE NEWS update: US midterm voting ended on November 3, with preliminary counts projecting Democrats to control more than half the seats in both the Senate and House. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on November 4 that President Trump is still exercising his powers and that Russia sincerely hopes he will continue efforts to promote peace. Peskov said groundwork has begun for a new round of Russia-US-Ukraine trilateral talks, and that no Putin-Trump call is currently planned.
Kremlin Hopes US Midterm Results Won’t Affect Peace Efforts
AI take
Peskov's comments are a signal that Moscow is pricing in a more constrained US president while trying to lock in momentum on the trilateral track before Washington's posture shifts. The pointed note that no Putin-Trump call is scheduled suggests the diplomatic channel is being kept warm but not relied upon. For markets watching the peace process as a variable, the open question is whether the groundwork Peskov describes survives the transition from a Trump-led push to a Congress-constrained one.
