Putin declares Russia's support for Kamala Harris with a smile on his face.

With a smile on his face, Vladimir Putin announced Russia's readiness to support Kamala Harris in an interview during his visit to the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. The Russian president also noted that Ms. Harris has an “infectious laugh” and expressed displeasure over sanctions imposed by former President Donald Trump against Russia.
Putin's remarks were met with criticism, with U.S. Security Council spokesman John Kirby responding, “Putin should stop discussing our election, that's obvious. He has no right to favor anyone.”
Putin added that supporting Kamala Harris could open new horizons for dialog between Russia and the United States. He emphasized the importance of cooperation in areas such as combating climate change and security, calling for more constructive relations between the powers. “We should look for ways for mutually beneficial cooperation,” the Russian president said, noting that only together can global problems be solved.
