Press service of Russian President Vladimir Putin April 18 statedthat the leader of the occupying country visited the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
It is alleged that Putin visited “the Kherson direction” and in the Luhansk region, listened to the reports of the command of the invaders, congratulated the Russian military on the Easter holiday and “gave them copies of icons as a gift.”
The last episode, filmed on video, gave reason to believe that the “trip” of the president of the occupying country was filmed in advance (the Kremlin did not name a specific date). The Russian media noticed that Putin, holding the icon, said: “Now it’s Easter, right?” This phrase may indicate that the meeting between the Russian leader and the military took place some time before April 16.
After this detail was noticed by the media, the Kremlin edited the entry, drowning out the word “will be” in it. In a video about Putin’s illegal trip to Ukraine, accessible on the official website of the President of the Russian Federation, now in this fragment of the recording the leader of the occupying country moves his lips, but the sound disappears in the middle of the phrase.
However, the phrase can be heard in its entirety in the original video, which was posted on YouTube by the publication. “Medusa” .

Putin’s previous visit to the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, to Mariupol in the Donetsk region (according to the Kremlin, it took place on March 19), also ended in embarrassment with a video. During a meeting between the president of the occupying country and local residents, a woman shouted off-screen: “It’s not true, it’s for show” . The phrase got on official videos and was published on the Kremlin website, but later the plot was re-edited and the scream was removed from it.
Russian political analyst, doctor of historical sciences Valery Solovey is convinced that Putin has a double, who sometimes replaces him at public events. He expressed this opinion in an interview with the founder of the online publication “GORDON” Dmitry Gordon. Nightingale believes that recent trips to the occupied territories of Ukraine – to Crimea and Mariupol – committed by Putin’s double .
The Russian Federation unleashed a war against Ukraine in 2014, when it occupied Crimea and part of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine from the northern, eastern and southern directions. In April, the Ukrainian Defense Forces expelled the invaders from the northern regions of Ukraine, and in the fall they de-occupied part of the Kherson, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions.
During pseudo-referenda in September 2022, Russia made an attempt to annex parts of the Kherson and Zaporozhye, Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Ukraine and the international community did not recognize the results of the pseudo-referendums, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued the counteroffensive that began in late August – early September. During this counteroffensive, thousands of kilometers of territory were liberated, including right-bank part of the Kherson region .
The Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly stated that they are pursuing the goal of de-occupying all Ukrainian territories seized since 2014, including Crimea .
