"Putin Backs Biden Over Trump for Predictability and Experience"

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed a preference for "predictable" President Joe Biden over Donald Trump, citing Biden's experience and predictability. Despite Trump's previous compliments towards Putin, his administration took hardline actions against Russia, including imposing sanctions and sending lethal arms to Ukraine. Biden has escalated sanctions and military aid to Ukraine, while Trump has voiced skepticism about the aid and criticized NATO allies for not meeting defense spending commitments. Biden criticized Trump's stance on NATO, while Trump doubled down on his position. Putin is expected to win his reelection bid, and both Trump and Biden are frontrunners for their party's nomination in the upcoming US presidential election.
