Details
When President Biden announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy for re-election, it came as a sudden shock to many members of the Russian elite who closely follow relations between Moscow and the West
It is noted that Biden's rejection in favor of Vice President Harris turned the race that the Kremlin and its supporters believed Donald Trump could win, creating a “window of opportunity” to resolve the war in Ukraine on Russia's aggressive terms.
If Kamala Harris wins the election, it will be a huge disappointment for the Kremlin. Not because they expect any specific anti-Russian steps, but because the nature of American politics will become, from their point of view, irrational, unpragmatic, and self-destructive. All the windows will close
Unlike Biden, who, despite his significant military and financial support for Ukraine, is seen as a predictable and cautious player, Kamala Harris is less well known in Russia and is a source of considerable anxiety for the Russian elite.
Recall
US Vice President Kamala Harris has officially joined the presidential race. In her campaign video, she emphasized the importance of the rule of law and freedom, indirectly criticizing her rival Donald Trump.
