At a meeting on the situation in the border regions with Ukraine, Vladimir Putin found himself in an awkward position, unable to immediately recall the names of the regions that were attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Kremlin leader, who often speaks of his “concern” for citizens living in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions, faltered during his speech and was forced to resort to a prepared report to continue his speech.
The meeting took place two weeks after Ukrainian forces crossed the Russian border in the Kursk region and temporarily established control over dozens of settlements.
Despite the seriousness of the issue under discussion, Putin found it difficult to name these regions without the help of records, which sparked heated discussions in the media.
This moment was recorded and broadcast on federal television channels, demonstrating how the Russian leader found himself in an unpleasant situation caused by his own insecurity.
Previously, Kursor wrote about whether Putin would respond with a large-scale attack on Ukraine on Independence Day.
Analysts say no “apocalypse” is likely to occur on this day.
