The Republican also admitted in an exclusive interview with 7.30 that President Donald Trump sometimes made him "nervous".
During a visit to Canberra, Senator McCain said Mr Putin was the "premier and most important threat, more so than ISIS".
"I think ISIS can do terrible things. But it's the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election," he said.
"I've seen no evidence they succeeded, but they tried and they are still trying to change elections.
"They just tried to affect the outcome of the French election. So I view Vladimir Putin — who has dismembered Ukraine, a sovereign nation, who is putting pressure on the Baltics — I view the Russians as the far greatest challenge that we have."

The ragheads must PAY better than the Russkies.
I hope McCain chokes on his oatmeal soon.
Only positive things that I am aware of, same with the Kenyanesian Usurper.
“So, Putin makes him “nervous” but not ISIS?”
Seeing as John McCain is one of the creators of ISIS it makes since if you look at it from that angle.
McVain is such a moron. ISLAM is by far the greatest threat we face.
It’s time to retire Jaun....before you are indicted..
Obungo and Hitlary hated Putin because he had the audacity to enforce anti-gay (actually common sense) laws like not letting gays adopt children.
Yes, that’s Stevens. That photo also leads me to believe McLaim was also in on the Benghazi fiasco.
Everything that loser touches turns out to be a disaster.
