Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited the military headquarters in the eastern regions of Ukraine, which are partly occupied by Russia, in his second visit to the region in as many months.
Putin attended a military command meeting in the southern Kherson region, the Kremlin said, and heard reports on the situation there and in the Zaporizhia region from commanders of the airborne forces and the “Dnieper” army group as well as other senior officers.
He also visited National Guard headquarters in Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region.
The Kremlin also released a video of the visit, showing Putin taking a helicopter to Luhansk, but did not say when any of the meetings took place.
