Russia has no comment on the U.S. presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump as it is an internal U.S. matter, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday. Biden stumbled frequently in the encounter with Trump, which revived discussion about his age. Russia loomed large in the debate as both men tried to show who was tougher on foreign policy.
Trump said if the U.S. had a "real president" who was respected by Putin, he would never have invaded Ukraine on Biden's watch. Biden responded: "Go ahead, let Putin go in and control Ukraine, and then move on to Poland and other places. See what happens then. He has no idea what the hell he's talking about."
Putin said earlier this month he did not believe the outcome of the election would make much difference for Russia.
