A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.
The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.
[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

It happens to be that lots of the senate seats up for reelection are currently held by democrats in areas that voted for Trump. In 2018, the republicans can't lose seats that are elected in 2014/2020 or in 2016/2022.
This oddity makes a gain in the senate probable. The republicans are likely to gain an additional seat or two.
Democrats will probably gain lots of seats in the house, but not enough to flip control. Democrats are way behind in the house.
