MOSCOW, February 10. /TASS/. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius's statement that the world would be a better place without Russian President Vladimir Putin is "absolutely inadmissible," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Friday.

"Defense Minister Pistorius hinted in very certain terms at the desirability of ousting the Russian leadership altogether. Such a statement is absolutely inadmissible for officials of any country that is a member of the international community," she said.

The West "in its reckless support for the Nazis in Kiev has trespassed all conceivable and inconceivable boundaries," Zakharova stressed. She recalled German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s remark that the West was waging war against Russia.

"[Germany] is not some fictional country. It is a state that is officially a member of the UN. These people represent not some private office, but those who elected them," Zakharova stressed.

Against the background of such speeches by official representatives Berlin still dares position itself "as a champion of international law and human rights," Zakharova said.

Earlier, Pistorius, in an interview with the Bild newspaper during a visit to Kiev said that, in his opinion, the world would be better place without the Russian president.
