Russian President Vladimir Putin says he prefers Biden over Trump, saying he has "more experience" as the next U.S. president.

There is likely to be speculation as to the true meaning of his statement that he did not choose Trump, who was seen as giving Russia an advantage. President Biden has strongly criticized President Putin, who continues to invade Ukraine, as he approaches the presidential election this fall. On the other hand, Mr. Trump criticized the Biden administration's aid to Ukraine, which some believe is an advantage for Russia.
