He’s been weirdly quiet about this
He didn’t push for Biden to stay or go, but he did say earlier about Biden vs Trump:
but I believe that for us, for Russia, Biden is more preferable.

Something tells me that if Putin said that Trump is preferred option for Russia you wouldn’t be saying that, but sure :)
