The price of the coat Putin wore was staggering
As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues, Russian President Vladimir Putin took a remarkable step yesterday.
Putin, who went to the Crimean Bridge, which was hit and partially damaged on October 8, made remarks here. The jacket worn by Putin, who carried out investigations on the bridge, known as the bridge between Russia and the annexed Crimea and which was shot by Ukraine in October, was the agenda of social networks.
The jacket Putin was wearing caused a reaction.
It turned out that Putin’s hooded coat, who was examining the bridge shot by Ukraine to cut off the flow of arms and ammunition from Russia, was from the Italian brand Loro Piana and the price was about $3100 (about 57 thousand TL).
The jacket, which was equivalent to about 12 times the monthly minimum wage for a Russian citizen, also drew criticism at the time.
On the other hand, Putin was also seen driving a car on the bridge. However, Putin was seen driving a Mercedes vehicle in the videos, which was also mocked. Some social media users who criticized Putin commented: “Why doesn’t he use a Russian-made vehicle instead of a German-made Mercedes?”
