JAKARTA - Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the western Kursk region for the first time since Russian troops expelled Ukrainian troops from the region last month.

The Kremlin said during a visit on Tuesday, May 20, Putin met with volunteer organizations in the region and visited the Kursk-II nuclear power plant

Reported by Reuters on Wednesday, May 21, state television broadcast Putin met with volunteers and local officials in the region, including governor Alexander Khinshtein.

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

Russia at the end of April said it had expelled Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region, which ended the biggest attack on Russian territory since the Second World War.

Within just two years of the 2022 Russian invasion, Ukraine on August 6 launched its latest attack, breaking through Russia's borders to the Kursk region, which is backed by a swarm of drones and Western heavy weaponry.
