Vlad was hoping Trump would get re-elected, and further isolate Ukraine from Western support. When Trump lost to Biden, Putin rolled the dice with his failed headshot attempt.
Now he's moved on from relying on Trump, to relying on various congresspeople to deteriorate US support for Ukraine. Since he's got a bunch of them in his pocket, spouting his propaganda, he doesn't even need Trump to be president, and he can still kill US aid to Ukraine (and do it without Trump's clumsy extortion attempts on a recorded phone call).
