In a surprising political development, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his current support for Kamala Harris in the U.S. presidential election, a stark departure from his previous backing of Joe Biden.

Putin emphasized that his initial preference for Biden stemmed from the latter's predictability as an 'old school' politician, making him a more favorable candidate over Donald Trump at the time.

Biden's subsequent withdrawal from the race has led Putin to back Harris, highlighting the fluid and strategic nature of political alliances on the global stage.
