DW News published this video item, entitled “Putin meets top military officials in occupied Ukraine | DW News” – below is their description.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited headquarters of the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.
A video broadcast by Russian state television showed Putin arriving in the southern Kherson region in a helicopter and meeting top military commanders. He was then seen visiting the headquarters of the Russian National Guard in the eastern Luhansk region.
The Kremlin said the visit took place on Monday. The footage could not be independently verified.
While this was Putin’s second visit to regions under Russia’s control, it was the first time the Russian leader visited Kherson and Luhansk — regions that are partly controlled by Russian troops.
It comes as Ukrainian troops prepare for a fresh counteroffensive to reclaim the occupied territories.
