Since Donald Trump’s reelection to the US presidency, the Kremlin sees little chance of improving relations between Russia and the United States, but Joe Biden’s victory in Russia’s presidential election would be “bad news,” sources said. Bloomberg.
The Kremlin fears the possibility of a victory for former US Vice President Joe Biden in the US presidential elections and is working on possible scenarios for the loss of current President Donald Trump. Bloomberg writes about this, citing sources familiar with the situation.
According to the agency, issues related to nuclear weapons, relations with China, energy exports, sanctions and global conflicts are being considered.
Since Trump’s reelection to the Kremlin, “few see many opportunities” to improve relations between the countries, but Biden as US president will be “bad news” for Russia, writes Bloomberg.
Biden’s victory could force a postponement of the parliamentary elections in Russia, the agency’s interlocutors close to the Kremlin said.
“The stakes are so high” that Russia is already interfering in the US elections, US officials said in an interview with Bloomberg.
The Kremlin’s hostility towards Biden emerged in 2011, when he, being the vice president of the United States, arrived in Moscow, the agency writes. He then told the Russian opposition that Vladimir Putin, who was then prime minister, should no longer run for president, and this kind of “insult” is not quickly forgotten, a source close to the Kremlin said.
The US presidential elections are scheduled for November 2020.
According to a poll conducted by radio station NPR in collaboration with PBS NewsHour and Marist, 52% of respondents are ready to vote for Biden, 43% for Trump.
