We've become accustomed to 'Putin Republicans' repeating Kremlin talking points, but now we're hearing Putin himself repeating Trump's own propaganda that the multiple indictments against him are nothing more than political revenge to keep him from the White House.
Birds of a feather.

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Tuesday that the criminal cases against former U.S. President Donald Trump are political revenge that show the fundamental corruption of the United States.
“As for the prosecution of Trump, for us what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” Putin said at an Eastern Economic Forum gathering in Russia’s Pacific Coast city of Vladivostok.
“Everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons. That’s what it is. And this is being done in front of the public of the United States and the whole world,” he said.

Putin has now officially endorsed the Putin-wing of the Republican Party.
Putin Republicans & their enablers will end up on the ash heap of history. Patriotic Americans in both parties who believe in the values of liberal democracy will make sure of it. https://t.co/XsJN7b6fPs— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) September 12, 2023
