Russian former President Dmitry Medvedev, a senior security official, said on Sunday the US presidential vote on Tuesday will not change anything for Moscow.
"The elections will not change anything for Russia, since the candidates' positions fully reflect the bipartisan consensus on the need for our country to be defeated," Medvedev wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Sunday that Europe will need to rethink its support of Ukraine if Donald Trump is elected president, as the continent "will not be able to bear the burdens of the war alone.”
Orban opposes military aid to Ukraine and has made clear he thinks Trump shares his views and would negotiate a peace settlement for Ukraine.
He backs former president Trump, the Republic candidate, to beat Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the election.
"We (in Europe) need to realize that if there will be a pro-peace president in America, which I not only believe in but I also read the numbers that way, ... if what we expect happens and America becomes pro-peace, then Europe cannot remain pro-war," Orban said.
