The Kremlin hopes Trump will continue his peacemaking efforts, while Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Moscow’s foreign policy is not shaped by political shifts in other countries. Europeans welcomed the Democrats’ victory but voiced concern that Trump’s foreign policy could grow less predictable. Separately, Ukrainian drones struck Russian-occupied Donetsk overnight, disrupting mobile service.
