Putin travels to Ukraine to speak with Russian forces

According to the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin has visited military headquarters in the southern Kherson and eastern Luhansk territories, which Russia holds in part.

The Russian president attended a military command meeting in the Kherson region to hear commanders’ reports and to consult with other senior officers about the circumstances in the provinces of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, both of which Moscow has annexed.

Additionally, Putin went to the Luhansk region’s national guard headquarters, which Moscow annexed last year.

The Kremlin did not say when Mr Putin attended the meetings or what comments he made.

Last November, Russian troops were ordered to withdraw from the city of Kherson and surrounding areas in the south of Ukraine.

Russia’s top commander in Ukraine, General Sergei Surovikin, said it was no longer possible to supply the city and other parts of the west bank of the Dnipro River that it sat on.

The announcement marked one of Russia’s most significant retreats and another humiliating setback for Mr Putin.

The Kherson region was illegally annexed in September, along with three other Ukrainian regions – Luhansk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. The international community has not recognised the annexations.
