In his own words, the Russian head of state, Vladimir Putin, considers another term for US President Joe Biden to be more desirable than Donald Trump's return to the White House.
When asked by a journalist in Moscow which winner Russia would like in the US presidential elections on November 5, Putin responded in Moscow yesterday: “Biden, he is more experienced. He is predictable, he is an old school politician.”
The Russian government “will work with any US leader that the US people trust,” Putin assured. Responding to widespread concerns about Biden's advanced age of 81, the Russian president said: “Actually, when I met Mr. Biden three years ago, people were already talking about his disabilities, but I didn't see anything like that.” .
Trump called Putin's comments at a campaign event in the US state of South Carolina a “great compliment.” The Republican told his supporters about Putin: “I get along with him, but he doesn't want me, he wants Biden.” Then he added: “Biden will give you Ukraine.”
