The commander-in-chief of the Russian Armed Forces can see how bad things are for his troops, a White House spokesman said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his trip to occupied Mariupol, will see for himself how badly things are going with Russian troops in Ukraine. This was said by the coordinator for strategic communication of the National Security Council at the White House, John Kirby, reports CNN.
“There’s no doubt that Putin can see for himself how badly his military is doing where the fighting is actually going on,” Kirby said.
According to the official, the visit of the Russian president to the occupied Mariupol is not very important, because the city is far from the front line.
According to Kirby, such a trip is just a convenient excuse before Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia to show that Putin is still commander-in-chief and that his military continues to occupy the territory of Ukraine.
It will be recalled that on Sunday, March 19, Russia announced the alleged visit of Vladimir Putin to Mariupol. The corresponding video was published by propaganda TV channels. Later it was announced in the Kremlin. It is noteworthy that in the video you can hear how Putin shouted: “It’s not true. It’s all for show.”
On March 18, Putin visited occupied Crimea. He timed his trip to coincide with the ninth anniversary of the illegal pseudo-referendum on the territory of the Ukrainian peninsula.
