The statement read: "The supreme commander of Russian Federation armed forces has visited the headquarters of the Dniepr military grouping."
However, Russia didn't mention further details about the time of the visit.
Putin held talks with commanders and spoke to other senior officers on the situation in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, both of which Moscow proclaimed part of Russia shortly after the invasion of Ukraine.
