Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with General Electric engines
Edit: wowsers, apparently I made a controversial comment. Let me provide the context that I based my comment on. From the guardian article:
"According to a preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, moments after take-off both the switches in the cockpit that controlled fuel going to the engines had been moved to the “cut-off” position. Moving the fuel switches almost immediately cuts the engine.
The initial report did not recommend action against Boeing, who manufactured the 787-8 Dreamliner, or General Electric who manufactured the engines."

Isn't putin just signalling internally that he's aiming to end the war? In particular towards the financial institutions in Russia.
I don't think Putin truly wants to end the war, he's just acting towards Russian institutions as if he's trying to

Why is it a big deal?

You are not. I would not be surprised if investigations will conclude that this happened as a result of negligence.
