Why did Putin appear in uniform

The appearance of a Russian dictator in a uniform “is a signal of determination until the completion of the Liberation Operation of the Kurski District in the near future,” the Kremlin spokesman told Russian media Dmitry Pieskow.

Politologist Fareed Zakaria noted on the CNN antenna that the Russian dictator was last seen in uniform a few months after Russian aggression on Ukrainein September 2022. – Putin often modeled on Stalin, who wore a uniform. In many respects, he is a kind of strange incarnation (Stalin) – he said. He added that in his opinion the choice of uniform suggests that the Russian leader “perceives this war as a conflict in which he is still involved.”

Ukrainian political scientist Ihor Czalenko on Radio NV, in turn, assessed that the last visit of the Russian President was to serve a number of propaganda goals. “Putin wants to show that he will not agree to agree with the White House or Trump,” said Czalenko. – He signals that he is ready to fight. His military uniform (…) aims to promote his image of a warrior – he added.

Putin's decision to establish a military uniform “seems to be aimed at strengthening his image of the war leader and strengthen morale in the country before potential peace conversations in order to end the conflict, which has been going on for the fourth year” – the portal of the American magazine “Newsweek” pointed out.
