I think the whole point was just that. If he said nothing they’d continue to claim he wanted Trump, if he said he wanted Trump, same thing. By doing this he throws the whole narrative of Biden being tougher on Russia and Trump being weaker. I doubt he has a preference at this point.

Putin: "I prefer Biden" Libs: "Now we know he prefers Trump because Putin always lies"

Putin: "I prefer Trump" Libs: "See, he just said it! We were right all along!"

Putin:"..." Libs: "By not saying anything he is tacitly admitting everything!"
