During the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Kazakhstan on July 4, 2024, Russian President Putin expressed his belief that after watching segments of the US presidential candidate debate, Trump sincerely wishes to end the Ukraine war although he is unsure how. When asked if his previous public support for Biden as US President had changed after the debate, Putin replied it had not. Putin emphasized Trump's willingness to end the war and stated that Biden was more suitable than Trump for the US presidency according to Russia's interests. Putin also discussed the negotiations surrounding the Ukraine crisis and sarcastically dismissed Biden's peace plan as a 'joke'.
