Russia's Putin visits Kursk when Ukraine says that six were killed in the rocket stroke | Russia-Ukraine was news

Putin's visit has been the first in the region since Russia claimed that his armed forces had ejected Ukrainian troops at the end of April.

President Vladimir Putin has visited the Kursk border region since the Russian armed forces for the first time since the Ukrainian troops from the area were ejected, said the Kremlin.

In August 2024, the Ukrainian armed forces invited the Kursk region to the Kursk region in one of their boldest battlefield successes in the more than three -year war. The first time since the Second World War was occupied by an intruder.

With the exception of Kursk, Russia has largely had the advantage on the battlefield since the end of 2023.

At the height of the idea, the Ukrainian armed forces demanded almost 1,400 square kilometers of Kursk.

Russia said at the end of April that it ejected Ukrainian troops from the region.

During the “work visit” of Tuesday, Putin scored voluntary organizations in Kursk and inspected a nuclear power plant in the region, Kremlin said on Wednesday.

Russian state television showed that Putin hit volunteers and local officials in the region, including the reigning governor Alexander Khinshtein.

Putin was accompanied by Sergei Kiriyenko, the deputy chief of staff of Kremlin.

At least six soldiers were killed in Ukraine on Tuesday and 10 more injured, the Ukraine national guard said on Wednesday.

“An internal examination of the incident is underway. The commander of the military unit was suspended and the necessary information was passed on to law enforcement authorities,” said the Ukraine of the National Guard in a statement.

The border region of Ukraine in recent months has been intensified. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday evening that it had started a ballistic rocket attack on the Ukrainian website.

“During the educational activities … A training camp for the Ukrainian special units was” discovered “, it said in a social media post.

“Based on the received coordinates, an Icelandic rocket attack was started.”

Russia also released film material that shows the goal for a training camp in a forest area.

Aerial photographs showed a strike that triggered a large fire and sent a cloud of thick black smoke into the air.

In the meantime, Russia said 159 drones that aimed from Ukraine over 12 hours to several Russian regions, including Moscow, announced the military in a statement on Wednesday.

The drones mainly aimed at the Russian regions to Ukraine and were launched on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, according to a declaration by the Ministry of Defense.

The barrage came two days after a call between Putin and US President Donald Trump did not achieve a breakthrough in the three-year conflict towards an armistice.

European diplomats have urged Moscow to agree with an armistice.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused the Kremlin to keep stalling to continue his offensive.

The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that he expected Russia to present an outline of Ukraine ceasefire within a few days, which would show whether it would be serious.
