Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, made a wry statement on Thursday indicating that he would support Kamala Harris in the upcoming US presidential election.
This came just a day after Washington accused Moscow of trying to influence the vote. Putin frequently used sarcasm in his remarks on political and social issues in the US.
“First, (US President Joe) Biden recommended all his supporters support Mrs. Harris.
“Here, we are going to do that too, we’re going to support her. She laughs so contagiously that it shows that everything is fine with her.
“Last year, the US political system was rotten and Washington could not lecture other countries about democracy.
“If Harris is doing well, perhaps she will refrain from such actions. Former US President Donald Trump has imposed as many sanctions on Russia as any president has ever imposed.”
Putin had supported Biden over Trump in February, referring to the incumbent as being more “predictable.”
