I don't see how this is a good thing for Putin.

Sure it may feel like a home field advantage.

But surely it does not help him when every single bit of news coverage will use the connection to remind people that he had agreed never to invade Ukraine. And it just makes it harder for Trump to gaslight people about who's fault this is.

Seems like a tactical blunder to me even if you overlook the childish playground taunts.
