Vladimir Putin has visited injured Russian soldiers for the first time – as he launched a new PR offensive to win support for the failing Ukraine war effort.
In a Moscow hospital, the Russian dictator visited two soldiers who had been in Ukraine.
Clad in a white coat, Putin made small talk with the two soldiers briefly while surrounded by their doctors.
After asking them where they were from, the dictator told both men that ‘everything will be alright’ as they admitted their families had not seen them.
