I agree that he probably doesn't care much about politics, but it's more than just sucking up. He's the Russian equivalent of a fervent Trumpist. I suspect he just thinks it's the right thing to do as a good patriotic Russian to be on the same side as the leader of your county. Also probably thinks it's kind of cool that he gets to be so buddy buddy with the most powerful man in his country. But it's pretty clear that he's genuine in his support.
