He's paranoid AF. A few months back he appeared in multiple "visits" to military personnel in hospital, but they turned out to be actors since the soldiers and staff were were reused multiple times in other propaganda videos and the hospital was filmed on his personal presidential compound or something.
He's also insecure he got no rebuttal of any kid when Biden showed up in Ukraine to visit in an active war zone, despite personal danger. Putin's ego and propaganda image as a tough man won't let him be seen doing nothing with Ukraine. Won't visit Donbas, but Crimea is plausible enough that he can send a body double or two.
