Russian President Vladimir Putin visited troops in two occupied regions of Ukraine, according to video released Tuesday by the Kremlin, marking the second time in a month he’s toured territory seized in the more than year-old invasion.
Putin was shown meeting officers of the Vostok National Guard in the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk and at the headquarters of the Dnepr grouping of troops in the southern Kherson region, where he heard reports on military developments.
“It’s important for me to hear your opinion about the situation,” he told officers in the video.
