Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and former Russian president, reacts on Telegram:
"A couple of days ago, I wrote on Telegram about the fierce bipartisan anti-Russian consensus on Capitol Hill. These observations hold true, especially with the majority the 'elephants' now hold in the Senate. But Trump has one quality that could benefit us: As a businessman to the core, he has a strong aversion to spending money on various freeloaders and hangers-on -- on foolish allies, bad charity projects, and gluttonous international organizations.
"Toxic Banderite Ukraine falls into this category too. The question is how much Trump will be pressured to allocate for the war. He’s stubborn, but the system is stronger.

Serbia's president weighs in...
In May, Serbia cut a deal with Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, to redevelop the former Yugoslav Defense Ministry building in the center of Belgrade. Many Balkan-watchers have seen the deal with Kushner as Serbia preparing for Trump's possible return to the White House. In a recent interview with the U.K.'s Financial Times, however, Vucic insisted that the deal was purely a "business venture."
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó writes on his Facebook page:
"Politics is an experiential art. During Donald Trump's first presidency, Hungarian-American political relations were at their peak, with dialogue and negotiation at the forefront of resolving conflicts that threaten world security. Following the decision of the American electorate, we can have good hope that Hungarian-American political cooperation will return to its peak, as we share similar views on peace, illegal immigration and the protection of families.
And there is a better chance than ever of peace in Ukraine after almost a thousand days!"
