KYIV, Ukraine - The Kremlin said on Tuesday that President Vladimir Putin had visited two frontline regions in Ukraine, prompting Kyiv to brand it a tour of the scenes of Russian "crimes".
"The president is now visiting the new regions more and more often," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding it is "absolutely important" that Putin as supreme commander-in-chief of Russia's armed forces "gets information on the spot". Last week a Russian strike on a block of flats in the eastern Ukrainian city of Sloviansk killed 15, including a two-year-old boy, and wounded 24.
According to video footage released by the Kremlin, neither Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu nor Russia's top commander in Ukraine, Valery Gerasimov, accompanied Putin. "It's important for me to hear your opinion on the situation, to listen to you and to exchange information," Putin said in the video.
