I don't think there is much more to it than, as the article says "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" - UKIP hates the EU and Putin hates the EU.
It reminds of Churchill's quote after the Nazis attacked the Soviet Union:
If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Churchill had previously been War Minister at the time of the intervention in the Russian Civil War against the Bolsheviks and was a strong anti-communist.
[NB Just to be clear - I strongly disagree with UKIP policies, but I don't believe for a minute that they'd actually take money from Moscow - it would be political suicide if it was ever found out].
