World Russia responds to Kamala Harris-Donald Trump debate: "Leave our president alone" Updated on: September 11, 2024 / 12:09 PM EDT / CBS/AP Russian President Vladimir Putin's chief spokesperson Dmitry Peskov complained Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump had referred too often to the Russian autocrat during their first head-to-head debate as candidates in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. "The name Putin is used, let's say, as one of the tools in the domestic political struggle of the United States," Peskov told reporters in Moscow, adding: "We really, really don't like this and we still hope they will leave our president alone." He struck a seemingly neutral tone on the American political duel despite his boss recently offering a very tongue-in-cheek endorsement of Harris, saying the position was "quite clear: The U.S. as a whole, no matter which party the candidates are from, maintains a negative attitude, an unfriendly attitude towards our country."
