It's a change in tune for the Russian leader, who praised Mr Trump during his first presidential run.

“Speaking to Russian TV in an on-camera interview on Wednesday, Mr Putin said Mr Biden’s leadership would be better for Russia because he was a “more experienced person, he is predictable, he is a politician of the old formation”.”
