Vladimir Putin's motorcade was filmed speeding to the Kremlin before a major national address to the country on the anniversary of Ukrainian invasion.
The armoured vehicle was flanked by a police escort at around 1am local time as the Russian president made his way to Moscow ahead of a speech to country's federal assembly.
February 22 will mark the first anniversary since Russia declared two breakaway Ukrainian regions - Donetsk and Luhansk - as independent states, which sparked Putin's order to invade two days later on February 24.
