The U.S. presidential election on Tuesday carries significant stakes for the Kremlin. Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to try to continue the massive military and economic support to Ukraine undertaken by President Joe Biden as it defends itself against the invasion by Russia.

Experts: Kyiv is losing no matter who wins the White House. The question is, who will end it before time runs out?

Russians are observing the US election with little hope that either candidate will bring a swift end to the war in Ukraine. While the Kremlin may prefer Trump, there's a widespread belief that neither he nor Harris can significantly alter US support for Ukraine or improve US-Russia relations.
