Putin Visits Russian Troops In Occupied Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a visit to the headquarters of Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, as seen in a video released by the Kremlin. Putin received reports from top military officials at the command post in the Kherson region before moving on to the headquarters of the Russian National Guard in the Luhansk region, in a trip that marks his second visit to the occupied areas in Ukraine in as many months, amid international condemnation of Russia's actions.
He then moved by helicopter to the headquarters of the Russian National Guard in the Luhansk region to hear reports about the situation there. Russia took the Kherson and Luhansk regions into its fold along with the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions in September in a move that was rejected by most of the world as illegal annexation.
It was impossible to independently verify the footage released by the Kremlin. The trip marked a second visit by Putin to the areas that Russia occupied in Ukraine in as many months.
