Putin sends a mixed message on US election, hedging his bets
MOSCOW โ Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday decried what he called Joe Bidenโs โsharp anti-Russian rhetoricโ but praised the Democratic presidential nomineeโs comments on arms control. While Putin again denied meddling in the U.S. election, U.S. intelligence officials believe Russia is using a variety of measures to denigrate Biden and that individuals linked to the Kremlin are boosting Trumpโs reelection bid. The U.S.-Russian talks on extending the pact have produced no visible progress, and Russian diplomats said that chances for making a deal with the Trump administration look slim. โThis is a very serious element of our potential collaboration in the future,โ Putin said, speaking on his 68th birthday. He added that Russia would be ready to work with any future U.S. president.
