Vladimir Putin has had to face topless female protesters belting out hateful messages during the ceremonial opening of the Hannover Fair in Germany.

Demonstrators approached him screaming and stressing how much they disapprove of the dictatorial style in which he is ruling Russia. The same messages were drawn on their bodies in bold letters and black ink.

However, the Russian President does not seem that displeased about the situation, and the expression on his face, captured in photos at the event, is priceless. He is pictured above, alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday, April 8.

"As to this action, I liked it," he answers reporters when prompted about the impact of the protests.

According to WBUR, Putin was referring to the fact that the female protesters were quite attractive and he didn't mind them disrobing one bit.
