According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, russia views US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala harris as a more predictable rival than Republican donald trump, but there is little chance that ties with Washington will become better.
 
Peskov also seemed to downplay Trump's claim that, should US voters elect him back to the White House, he could put an end to the conflict in ukraine in less than a day, during an interview with tv reporter Pavel Zarubin, who has preferential access to the Kremlin.
 
Vladimir Putin, the president of russia, had stated that moscow favored Joe Biden over trump before the former announced his withdrawal from the race in november and put his support for harris, characterizing the former as an accomplished "old school" politician.

"Then who is our candidate now?" Zarubin laughed and asked Peskov after Biden withdrew from the race.
 
Peskov laughed too and retorted, "We don't have a candidate. Of course, though, the Democrats are more dependable. Furthermore, Ms. harris and practically all other Democrats share Putin's criticism of Biden's predictability."
 
Putin and Peskov have given differing views at different points in time, all the while maintaining that the election was an internal US business. In February, for instance, Putin seemed to be trying to cause trouble when he complimented Biden on his predictability while also touching on a delicate subject of his suitability for leadership.
 
He claimed in june that although russia did not give a damn about the future US President, it was obvious that the legal system was being used as a political weapon against Trump.
 
Peskov stated that US actions to "trample on our country's interests" had gone beyond reasonable bounds in the interview that was made public on Sunday. At that period, bilateral ties were at an all-time low, with "no prospects" for turning things around.
 
According to a representative for the Kremlin, trump has promised a "magic wand" to settle the ukraine situation overnight.
He described it as "fantasy" to think that the next US president would declare in their inaugural address that Washington was ending military assistance to ukraine and urging peace talks, and that this would cause Kyiv to adopt a different perspective.
