According to ChainCatcher, according to foreign media reports such as TASS and Russia's Sputnik News, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the plenary session of the 2024 Eastern Economic Forum that in the upcoming US presidential election, Russia will "support" US Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Harris in accordance with the recommendation of US President Biden.
When Putin was asked how he now views the 2024 US election, he reportedly said that it is the choice of the American people. The new US president will be elected by the people of the country, and Russia will respect the choice of the American people. Putin also said that just as Biden suggested his supporters to support Harris, "we will do the same, we will support her." Putin also joked that Harris's laughter was "expressive and contagious," which showed that "everything is fine with her." He added that this could mean that she will avoid further sanctions against Russia.
