Putin had previously expressed his condolences on Dugina's death.
The president described the deceased as "a smart, talented person with a real Russian heart - good, loving, compassionate and open".
Dugina's father, the far-right ideologue Alexander Dugin, has called on the Russians to continue fighting in the interests of his nationalist and imperialist ideology.
“Our hearts do not simply thirst for vengeance or vengeance.
That would be too small, not Russian,” Dugin said on Telegram through his confidante, the oligarch Konstantin Malofeev.
“All we need is our victory.
My daughter laid her girlish life on his altar.
So please win!”
Dugin, who is close to the Kremlin, praised his daughter as a "beautiful Orthodox girl" and a "patriot" who had been killed by "the enemies of Russia".
Russia's secret service shows video of alleged Dugina killer
Russia's domestic intelligence agency FSB has released a video purporting to show Darya Dugina's alleged murderer.
Several shots cut together in the clip, which lasts around two minutes, are intended to show how the Ukrainian arrives in Russia, enters the house of her alleged victim and then leaves the country again after the crime.
Dugina died on Sunday night when her car exploded in a Moscow suburb.
According to the FSB, the perpetrator is a woman from Ukraine who was born in 1979. She traveled to Russia with her eleven or twelve-year-old daughter at the end of July and left for Estonia immediately after the crime.
Russian opposition figures doubted the representation of the secret service.
Kyiv had already rejected involvement in the death of 29-year-old Dugina at the weekend.
On Monday, Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Mykhailo Podoliak reiterated: "Russian propaganda creates a fictional world: a Ukrainian woman and her 12-year-old child were 'fixed' as culprits in the blown up car of propagandist Dugina." that the suspect presented by the FSB was in some way related to the unit.
