The Kremlin announced Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin visited military headquarters in Ukraine’s Kherson and Luhansk regions, which Russia controls.
Putin attended a military command meeting in Kherson to hear briefings from commanders of the airborne forces, the “Dnieper” army group, and other senior officers on the situation in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, which Moscow has declared part of Russia.
In preparation for a Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russian troops withdrew last November from Kherson, the provincial capital.
Putin also visited Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region’s national guard headquarters, which Moscow annexed last year.
The Kremlin did not disclose Putin’s meetings.
