Russians Rejoice as Kremlin Claims Putin Skipped Watching Biden's Car-Crash Debate

The Kremlin seemed to minimise the debate as Putin's team claimed the dictator was too busy to wake up and watch the showdown. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said debates in the United States are not a top priority for Russia.
Pro-Kremlin Voices Mock Biden's Performance
Many Russians believe that Donald Trump would be more favourable to Putin both in backing Moscow's demands and stopping the flow of Western munitions to Kyiv. Pro-Kremlin outlets mocked Biden's weak performance, with some claiming that Putin had won the debates.
