Kremlin Unconcerned About West's Response to Putin's Photographs

The Kremlin is unconcerned about the reactions in the West to photographs of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, stating that the main concern is whether these images resonate positively with Russians, said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian president.

“We must somehow strengthen our moral character,” Peskov said in response to a journalist's question about whether additional photographs of Putin would be released.

Earlier, leaders of the G7 had discussed Vladimir Putin's bare torso, emphasizing that the Russian president has frequently posed shirtless, which seems to have left a lasting impression on Western politicians.
