Putin claims Russia will support Harris in US elections

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has said that his favourite candidate in the US election was incumbent President Joe Biden, but since he has withdrawn from the race and recommended Kamala Harris, Russia will also support her.

Source: Meduza, a Latvia-based Russian news outlet, with reference to a statement by Putin at the Eastern Economic Forum on 5 September.

He has withdrawn from the race, but he recommended supporting Ms Harris.

Details: Putin also said that Harris's election rival, Donald Trump, as US president, "imposed as many sanctions on Russia as any president has ever imposed before".

Why this is important: The United States has repeatedly pointed out Russia’s interference in the US elections.

In June 2024, Bloomberg wrote that Russia would continue to interfere in the US elections to weaken the US and its support for Ukraine.

Biden repeatedly called Putin a "war criminal" and a "brutal tyrant" and publicly condemned Russia's attacks on civilian populated areas in Ukraine. »
