Vladimir Putin has visited Kursk for the first time since his troops ejected Ukrainian forces from the Russian city.
The Russian president met with a volunteer organisation and visited a nuclear power plant in the region, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
The visit comes as a Russian missile attack killed six soldiers and injured 10 more in the Ukrainian city of Sumy, according to the country’s national guard.
The commander of the unit has been suspended and an internal investigation has been launched.
The attack comes after US President Donald Trump spoke to both Mr Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging them to restart ceasefire talks.
