German press explained why "Putin likes that Biden considers Russia the biggest threat to the United States."
The United States, led by Joe Biden, will increase pressure on Russia to defend human rights by increasing its presence in Europe, but for Putin, Biden's election is preferable to Trump's re-election. With mutual respect, Russia and the United States can solve many problems. Writes about this German edition ARD.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was one of the last to congratulate the newly elected head of the United States, Joe Biden. It might seem that for Putin, and therefore for Russia, Trump's re-election would be more beneficial, but this is not so. In Russia, Biden is considered "a much better solution" than Trump. Unlike his predecessor, Biden is not driven by spontaneous emotions. According to Andrei Kortunov, director of the Russian International Affairs Council, to whom the German edition refers, Russia and the United States will again have topics where cooperation is possible: Iran, climate, disarmament.
At the same time, Russia admits that "it will not be easier" with Biden, but relations will be more predictable.
