MOSCOW (AP) – President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia would prefer to see US President Joe Biden winning the second term, in which he is said to be more experienced than Donald Trump.
Speaking in an interview with a television television television reporter, Putin announced that he would work with any American leader who has been elected, but unequally note that he would like Biden’s victory when asked when asked who would be a better option from Russia’s point of view.
“Biden, he is more experienced, more predicated, he is a politician of old formation,” said Putin. “But we will work with any American leader whom American people trust.”
Asked about speculation on Biden’s health issues, Putin replied that “I am not a doctor and I do not consider it appropriate to comment on it.”
Biden’s team worked to reduce democratic concerns on the alarm raised by a special lawyer about Biden’s age and memory. They came in a report determining that Biden would not be accused of any criminal activity to keep classified documents after leaving the post.
Putin said that talks about Biden’s health “The election campaign is gaining momentum in the US, and it is taking fast course.”
He said that Biden’s allegations of health problems were also broadcast when he met in Switzerland in June 2021, saying that he saw the contrary and saw the American leader in a good shape.
Putin said, “He talked about him, but I didn’t see anything like this.” “Yes, he was peeping on his papers, to be honest, I was looking at myself, not a big deal.”
At the same time, Putin said that he considers the Biden administration policy wrong.
In February 2022, Putin has brought his soldiers to Ukraine after the Russia-West relations to their lowest level since the Cold War era.
“I believe the current administration’s situation is badly flawed and wrong, and I told President Biden about it,” Putin said.
Putin has claimed that he has sent soldiers to Ukraine to protect Russian speakers there and to prevent the threat to Russia’s protection by Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. Ukraine and its Western colleagues have condemned Moscow’s action as an unsafe act of aggression.
Putin argued that Moscow was forced to work after Ukraine and his colleagues refused to fulfill the 2015 agreement to provide more powers to separatist areas in eastern Ukraine, where Moscow-supported separatists started a rebellion in 2014.
Putin said, “We can only regret that we did not work earlier, thinking that we are working with civilized people.”
Asked about Trump’s statement on Saturday, in which he said that he once warned that what he wants to do to Russia for NATO member nations, to dedicate 2% of his GDP 2% to protect 2% of his GDP, Putin replied that it is until the US to determine his role in the coalition.
Trump’s statement was rapidly with Biden’s pledge with “to protect every inch of the NATO region”, as the alliance does to all the members in the case of attack. This surprised many people in Europe, pledging for Europe’s security and defense power from Poland, France and Germany.
Putin said that Trump’s statement followed his policy during his first term when he provoked NATO allies in Europe to increase his defense spending.
Putin said about Trump, “He has his own view on how to develop relations with colleagues.” “From his point of view, it has some arguments, while from the point of view of Europeans, there is no argument, and they would like to complete some tasks that they have completed since the formation of NATO.”
He described NATO as a “US foreign policy tool”, saying that “if the US feels that it no longer needs this device, it is to decide.”
Asked about his raids from his last week’s interview with former Fox News Host Tucker Carlson, Putin said he hopes Karlson would be more aggressive. ” Putin used the interview to carry forward his story on the fight in Ukraine, urged Washington to recognize Moscow’s interests and press Kiev to sit for a conversation.
Putin said, “I hoped that he would be aggressive and asked the so -called difficult questions, and I was not only ready for it, but wanted it because it would have given me a chance to answer fast.”
Carlson did not ask Putin about war crimes, Russian soldiers have been accused in Ukraine, or about his tireless cracks on dissatisfaction.
Putin described Carlson as a “dangerous man”, saying, “They did not allow me to do what I was ready,” describing Carlson as a “dangerous man”.
