What is the idea of the Kaufman Attack (5.c4) against the Petroff?

What is the idea of White playing 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. c4 ? Does he intend to get some good version of the main lines, while avoiding certain sidelines? It seems in fashion now with games like this one, but I am not sure I grasp the full concept - Ian Nepomniachtchi vs Sanan Sjugirov, 2016
