T-shirt puts Putin at the battle front

- BY HELEN WHITEHOUSE

VLADIMIR Putin has been given a T-shirt emblazoned with his own face as a bizarre gift.

The Russian President was presented with the camouflage-coloured top while on an official government trip.

Putin, 64, looked unimpresse­d with the garment which pictured him wearing sunglasses and a military vest with the caption “Russian Army”.

He received it during a visit to the city of Ryazan in Western Russia.

The unnamed businessma­n, who presented Putin with the T-shirt, told him: “We can produce 100 every day if there is a need.”

The President thanked him for the gift, shook his hand and gave him a quick thumbs up.
