Minister calls for Putin's removal contrary to government position

Laura Farris, the security minister, speaks during Question Time

The home secretary said she wants to see Vladimir Putin removed from power, contrary to the government's position.

Laura Farris, the security minister, called for the Russian dictator to be replaced ahead of the second anniversary of his illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Speaking on Question Time, Ms Farris said that while the UK could not determine Putin's future on its own, it should work with allies to ensure a military victory for Ukraine to «eventually» oust him from the Kremlin.

< p>Downing Street repeatedly stated that the overthrow of Putin is not the goal of the British government.

Asked whether sanctions on Russia had failed, Ms Farris said: “The tools we have include sanctions but also freezing them in our domestic markets, which is what we have done. as much as possible, and we have expelled people from the United Kingdom.»

Saying that the Russian economy will grow faster than any other G7 country in 2023, she said: «I think the war in Ukraine is costing Putin dearly. It costs him money, it costs him political capital, it costs him the support of Russian citizens.

«And, you know, we can't determine his future alone, but collectively, with NATO, with the support of our allies, maintaining the support of Ukraine — ultimately seeing them triumph is the only way to ultimately remove him from power.» /p> Downing Street has repeatedly insisted that removing Vladimir Putin is not the UK government's goal.

Rishi Sunak's spokesman said any decision on the future of Putin's presidency would be a matter for the Russian people.

When asked in 2022 about US President Joe Biden's suggestion that Putin «cannot remain in power», Boris Johnson responded that a change of government «is not in itself something disgraceful» but that he was «absolutely clear that this is not the aim of the UK Government.»

He added: “And it’s very, very important that everyone understands this. We are simply committed to helping protect the people of Ukraine and protecting them from absolutely barbaric and unjustified violence.»

Ms. Farris told the program that the death of Alexei Navalny was a sign that the Russian leader is «inherently weak»

Earlier in the program, Ms. Farris said that the recent death of Alexei Navalny, a leading critic of the Putin regime, was a sign that the Russian leader is «inherently weak» inherently weak.”

She added: “If this shows us anything, it shows us why it is important to maintain the support we give Ukraine because we cannot condone Putin's alternative reality.

“The war in Ukraine is costing Putin… it is costing him money… political capital, it is costing him the support of Russian citizens»

“I mean, it's absolutely shocking that in 2024 a world leader can kill his number one opponent and know that he won't suffer any consequences . In fact, it is also a sign of cowardice, because if you cannot stand up to your main political opponent, it shows that you are inherently weak.»

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the opposition leader, said that his body was hidden from his family so that traces of Novichok would disappear. The Putin critic was previously poisoned with a nerve agent in 2020.

It comes after Germany's military chief said Putin's forces would «without a doubt» be defeated by NATO if he dared launch an attack on Eastern flank of Europe.
