Putin was hoping Trump would be re-elected and allow him to walk into Ukraine while fracturing NATO. This would make Biden’s victory one of the most consequential in history.
CIA Director William Burns says the US intelligence community had begun to assemble a "detailed and disturbing picture" of Putin's plans for a new major invasion of Ukraine in the early fall of 2021; Putin appeared at the time uncommitted but "defiantly leaning" toward aggression
