Russian President Vladimir Putin is a wise and educated international figure, so he does not respond to US President Joe Biden's inappropriate statements about him, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained, TASS reported.

"Our president is a very wise, visionary and educated international figure," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters when asked why Putin is not responding to Biden, who called him a "war criminal."

"Such statements by Mr. Biden are absolutely inadmissible, unacceptable, inexcusable," Peskov noted.
