In a shocking development, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday declared that he would support United States Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming US presidential election.

Putin who spoke at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, declared that Harris is Russia’s preferred choice for the next US president.

He said: “Firstly, (US President Joe) Biden recommended all his supporters support Ms 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,”

Speaking further, the Russian president offered more explanations for his choice, pointing out that former US president and 2024 Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump introduced more sanctions against Russia than anyone in the White House before him.

He continued: “(Former US President Donald) Trump has imposed as many sanctions on Russia as any president has ever imposed before, and if Harris is doing well, perhaps she will refrain from such actions.”

Putin’s statement comes a few hours after the US imposed sanctions on a Russian state-funded news outlet, accusing them of seeking to influence the presidential election.
