Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited military headquarters in Ukraine's Kherson and Luhansk regions which are partly held by Russia, the Kremlin said
Putin attended a military command meeting in the Kherson region to hear reports from commanders of the airborne forces and the "Dnieper" army group and other senior officers on the situation in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, both of which Moscow has proclaimed part of Russia.
Russian troops retreated from Kherson, the regional capital, last November, and have been reinforcing their positions on the opposite bank of the Dnipro river in anticipation of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Putin has also visited national guard headquarters in Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, another part of Ukraine which Moscow annexed last year.Reporting by Reuters; Editing by Jacqueline Wong

Putin visits Russian troops in occupied UkraineThe Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited headquarters of the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine. A video released by the Kremlin early Tuesday showed Putin visiting the command post for Russian forces in the southern Kherson region. It showed Putin receiving reports from the top military brass. He then moved by helicopter to the headquarters of the Russian National Guard in the Luhansk region to hear reports about the situation there. Russia took the Kherson and Luhansk regions into its fold along with Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia in September in a move that was rejected by most of the world as illegal annexation. It was Putin's second trip to the areas that Russia occupied in Ukraine in as many months.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Putin that the exercise that began Friday involves 167 warships, including 12 submarines, 89 aircraft and 25,000 troops.
