It's an intentional effort by the author to separate Purchinov the character from the real-world Putin - or more precisely, to turn Purchinov into the anti-Putin.

In chapter 43, when Purchinov is offered kingship by the griffons, he refuses, saying this:

I have no intention of building an empire or becoming an emperor. When I established my small country, I swore ... that I wouldn't turn into a dictator that throws around his military might for his own ends ... One should not impose their will upon others, nor should they kill in the name of conquest. Each and every person strives to find their own happiness ... Those in authority have no right to impose their own views on the people! Expanding your territory and taking away the wealth of others is a foolish endeavour that robs others of happiness and spreads misery. A country that respects the right to happiness and has citizens that trust in each other is worth far more than any empire.

Chapter 43, of course, was released in March 2022. The cross-shaped scar came in chapter 47.

Purchinov wasn't at any point meant to be Putin, but a satire of Putin (specifically, pro-Putin propaganda), but the authors decided to remove even the last shred of ambiguity about where their politics lie by putting a big X for "No" across his face.

Which is based out of space, if you ask me. That decision probably saved the manga, and if anything, made it even better.

A lot of it is just in the scar and hairstyle. I went back to look, and his actual facial structure hasnt changed in any significant manner.
