Peskov declared the impossibility of restoring the USSR

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on December 9 that the words of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz about the alleged desire of Russian President Vladimir Putin to return the USSR were disrespectful.

This is how he commented on Merz's explanation about the growing militarization of NATO countries, that Putin allegedly wants to restore the USSR.

"This is not true, neither one nor the other. Vladimir Putin does not want to restore the USSR, because it is impossible and he himself has repeatedly said this," he said at a briefing.
