While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become famous for his khaki green T-shirt, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin chose a £10,000 Loro Piana jacket for his appearance at a stadium rally last week.

With Russia feeling the impact of sanctions, it is unclear which of Putin's aides thought it wise for him to don a coat costing 25 times the nation's average monthly wage.

Putin, who teamed the puffer jacket with a £2,400 roll-neck sweater by Italian brand Kiton, told 200,000 people inside Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium that his invasion of Ukraine was to defend the 'universal values' of all Russians.

The high-fashion leader is also a fan of a £8,800 black Blancpain Grande Date Aqua Lung watch, and has been spotted in a £605 pair of Loro Piana suede trim sneakers.

One critic wrote on Twitter: 'While Russian people are fighting for food in stores, Putin addressed Russians wearing a Loro Piana jacket worth 1.5million roubles.'

Putin's physique looked bulky during the speech, sparking speculation he was wearing a bullet-proof jacket under the coat. There were also claims that much of the crowd were paid or coerced to be there.

Putin will be a new word in in the dictionary, being defined as:

a sociopath and a psychopath and a monster; looks human but has the mind of the devil.

Why are you defending an utter failure, with a joke of an army. Russia is no threat. China is.

At least Putin can dress himself , unlike our president.

I'm trying to save you Putin-hating, Zelensky-loving, Ukraine-knobbing Freepers from dying by pointing out realty.

[cowboyusa]

Putin and Russia are pathetic. A 3rd world klipocracy with nukes, a joke.
