Why a Christian Can Vote for a Democrat

I don't have an issue with Russia supporting either one. I just thought you saw it as important and figured you should know who Putin is now supporting.

<< "We assess that President Vladimir Putin [and others are] ... probably directing Russia's influence operations aimed at denigrating the former US Vice President, supporting the US president" and stirring up discord. >>

This is a CIA assessment quoted in the Newsweek article linked in the OP.

Also:

<< "Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden ... This is consistent with Moscow's public criticism of him when he was Vice President for his role in the Obama Administration's policies on Ukraine and its support for the anti-Putin opposition inside Russia," William Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said in a statement in August. >>

I assume that you know that "denigrate" means they are putting Biden down.
