Trump may be disadvantageous to Russia: who does Putin see as US president

Former KGB officer Sergei Zhirnov told 24 Channel, that formally in Russia they believe that Trump’s candidacy is more advantageous for them. There is an assumption that he is going to reduce aid to Ukraine.

Which party is profitable for Russia to support

Sergey Zhirnov noted that no one yet knows what Donald Trump's policies will be if he wins the 2024 US elections.

Historically, it turned out that Putin's Russia would benefit more from a Republican president. The former KGB officer explained that for the representatives of this party, pragmatic things are more important than human values.

In fact, it is difficult to understand Trump, therefore, his candidacy could be even worse for Russia than Joe Biden’s, Zhirnov said.

He noted that Vladimir Putin said that Biden’s candidacy could be more useful for Russia, after all, due to his age, it would seem that he would be easier to defeat. The Kremlin dictator has also previously stated that Russia is ready to work with any president that US citizens choose.
