He really was Putin at a fashion show!
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been captured and grinning in sheepskin and fur as part of a series of propaganda photos from a recent holiday in Siberia – a few days after President Biden called him a ‘murderer’.
The Kremlin on Sunday also released snapshots of Putin driving an off-road vehicle and enjoying an al-fresco meal with his defense minister, Sergey Shoigu, in the desert.
The cold weather snaps are just the latest images released by the Kremlin, which the Russian leader regularly tries to surround as a macho outdoorsman.
Other famous photo-ops of visits to the region showed him on horseback, pole fishing and the butterfly swim – even though he is shirtless.
The latest photo crash comes after President Biden said he believed Putin was a “murderer” and recalled a conversation in which he told the Russian leader that he did not believe he had a soul.
The Kremlin has demanded that Biden apologize for his remarks about “murderer”, while Putin has replied that “it is necessary to know one”.
‘I remember in my childhood, when we fought in the courtyard, we said: one needs to know one. “It’s not a coincidence, not just a child’s saying or joke,” Putin said. ‘We always see our own qualities in other people and think it’s the way we really are. And as a result, we evaluate (someone’s) activities and give assessments. ”
‘Like him [Biden] said, we know each other personally. What would I answer him? I would say: I wish you health. I wish you health. I say this without any irony or joke, “Putin added.
