Well, its not a very good start, for a new UKIP Leader is it ?
She has a laborious task only exceeded by Hercules clearing of the Augean Stables, in trying to clear up a basically broken Party. So you would have thought she could have avoided this entirely foreseeable tank trap.
To further quote from the article ::::
"Putin has attracted international criticism for Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its involvement in Ukraine, its support for the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and alleged cyber-attacks on the other governments and the crushing of opposition at home. And she is admiring this man ?
I fail to see why she felt the need to make herself look stupid by mentioning Putin ?

He doesn't "stand up for his country" though.
He runs a corrupt kleptocracy while mouthing increasingly extreme nationalistic sentiments. Probably not because he believes it, but because he's clever enough to realise that it's good populist politics.
(Someone ought to ask Miss/Ms/Mrs James what she thinks of his doctoring of Russian history curriculum textbooks to airbrush out Stalin's crimes and present him also as a "great leader": perhaps she'd then replace Putin with Stalin in her top three:-) )
To the outsider looking in, who doesn't want to think too deeply about it, that might seem like something to put him on a par with Churchill. It betrays something fundamentally unpleasant I am afraid about UKIP, because let's face it these people DO admire him, of course they do. It suggests that they value nationalism above morality.
Or maybe she just wants to get headlines of course.
