俄罗斯联邦总统弗拉基米尔·普京，莫斯科，2026年11月5日。
President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow, November 5, 2026.
周二（11月3日）美国中期选举结果出炉，唐纳德·特朗普落败、民主党获胜，普京及其忠实的外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫均未公开评论。然而，在结果宣布24小时后，双方的发言人最终传达了官方信息：华盛顿没有任何变化，莫斯科将继续主要与美国总统打交道，后者向俄罗斯倾斜的立场应促成双边贸易协议的达成。
Neither Vladimir Putin nor his loyal foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, publicly commented on Donald Trump's defeat and the Democrats' victory in the US midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3. Twenty-four hours after the results were announced, however, their respective spokespersons eventually delivered the official message: Nothing has changed in Washington, and Moscow would continue to work primarily with the US president, whose shift in favor of Russia should lead to trade deals between the two countries.
“特朗普总统将继续行使总统职权并开展外交政策。其他一切均属美国内政，”克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫简短地表示。“我们真诚希望他将继续其和平努力，”他坚称，并回顾说，在美方主持下，俄罗斯与乌克兰的新一轮三方会谈定于11月9日和10日在阿布扎比举行。
"President Trump will continue to exercise his presidential powers and conduct his foreign policy. Everything else pertains to US domestic affairs," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said curtly. "We sincerely hope he will continue his peace efforts," he insisted, recalling that a new round of trilateral talks between Russia and Ukraine, under US auspices, was scheduled for November 9 and 10 in Abu Dhabi.
与此同时，俄罗斯外交部发言人玛丽亚·扎哈罗娃试图淡化美国国会的重要性，并指责其仇视俄罗斯。“重要的是不要忘记：近年来，我们看到一个国会，其中形成了持久的反俄共识，公开破坏旨在哪怕实现双边关系相对正常化的倡议，”她批评道。
Meanwhile, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova sought to downplay the importance of the US Congress, which she accused of Russophobia. "It's important not to forget: In recent years, we've seen a Congress where a persistent anti-Russian consensus has formed to openly sabotage initiatives aimed at even a relative normalization of bilateral relations," she criticized.
