"He is a bright personality, a talented person,
no doubt about it," the Russian leader said. "It is not up to us to
appraise his positive sides, it is up to the U.S. voters. but, as we can
see, he is an absolute leader in the presidential race."
Putin added: "He is saying that he wants to move
to a different level of relations with Russia, to a closer, deeper one.
How can we not welcome that? Of course, we welcome that."
However, Putin said it was "not up to us to make
judgments" on Trump's remarks on U.S. issues or "other means he uses to
boost his popularity."
During the news conference, Putin took a swipe at the United States and Turkey but ducked a question about his grown-up daughters.
