Details: Putin has visited Ukraine again
Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited Ukraine again, writes Reuters with reference to information from the Kremlin.
Among other things, he is said to have met with Russian commanders in the area around Kherson in southern Ukraine and then to have traveled on and visited forces in occupied Luhansk. It is not clear when the visit should have taken place, but the Orthodox Easter was celebrated this weekend and according to the state-controlled news agency Tass, the president must have wished a happy Easter during the visit.
In mid-March, Putin visited Mariupol and the Crimean Peninsula, his first trip to the occupied territories since Russia's full-scale invasion began last year.

Kyiv on Putin's alleged trip: "Visited crime scenes"
Kyiv accuses Vladimir Putin of visiting Russian crime scenes after the Kremlin claimed the president visited both Kherson and Luhansk, writes AFP.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's adviser Michaljo Podoljak writes on Twitter that Putin toured the Ukrainian occupied territories "to enjoy the crimes of his subjects for the last time".
The Kremlin has released fragmentary footage showing the president walking around various military facilities, but the footage being circulated is difficult to locate.
