Russian President Vladimir Putin visited command posts of the Kremlin's forces fighting in Ukraine in an apparent effort to rally his troops as the war approaches its 14th month and Kyiv readies a possible counteroffensive with Western-supplied weapons.
A video released by the Kremlin and broadcast by Russian state television showed Putin arriving by helicopter at the command post for Russian forces in the southern Kherson region and afterward flying to the headquarters of the Russian National Guard of the eastern Luhansk region
The locations of the military headquarters in the Kherson and Luhansk regions weren't disclosed, so it wasn't possible to assess how close they are to the front line. In both locations, Putin congratulated the military on Orthodox Easter, which was celebrated Sunday and presented them with icons. Putin's trips to the military headquarters come as Ukraine is preparing for a new counteroffensive to reclaim the occupied territories.
