President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia would prefer to see President Joe Biden win a second term, describing him as more experienced than Donald Trump. Speaking in an interview with a correspondent of Russian state television on Wednesday, Putin declared that he would work with any US leader who is elected, but noted unequivocally that he would prefer Biden`s victory when asked who would be a better choice from the point of view of Russia. "Biden, he`s more experienced, more predictable, he`s a politician of the old formation," Putin said.
"But we will work with any US leader whom the American people trust." Asked about speculation on Biden`s health issues, Putin responded "I`m not a doctor and I don`t consider it proper to comment on that." Biden`s team worked to alleviate Democratic concerns over alarms raised by a special counsel about Biden`s age and memory. They came in a report determining that Biden would not be charged with any criminal activity for possessing classified documents after he left office. Putin noted that the talk about Biden`s health comes as "the election campaign is gaining speed in the US, and it`s taking an increasingly sharp course." He added that allegations of Biden`s health problems were also circulating at the time when they met in Switzerland in June 2021, adding that he witnessed the contrary and saw the US leader in good shape.
