At an economic forum in Vladivostok, Vladimir Putin's reaction to a question about the US election was both revealing and teasing as he commented on his preference for Joe Biden but acknowledged successor Kamala Harris.
The election stakes are significant for Russia, with the Kremlin seeing both candidates as unlikely to improve strained relations.
Key issues at play include US aid for Ukraine, the NATO alliance, and human rights, with analysts predicting little positive change in US-Russia relations regardless of electoral outcomes.
