Outside of the U.S., how do leaders view Harris and Trump? - Harvard Gazette
Briefly

Timothy J. Colton noted that while Russian President Vladimir Putin might prefer Donald Trump, he acknowledges that Trump ultimately did not benefit Russia during his previous term.
Colton emphasized that the current Russian perspective has moved away from focusing on U.S. elections; they are shaping a new international identity aligned more with Asia and less with the West.
He stated that Russia is now identifying more opportunities within Europe, particularly in nations like Germany and Hungary, to influence the support for Ukraine.
Colton concluded that the Russian establishment appears less invested in the U.S. election this cycle, seeking connections that undermine Western cohesion regarding Russia's actions.
