[Watch] Vladimir Putin Fires Gun At Training Camp For Ukraine War Recruits

Moscow: Vladimir Putin means business on achieving his mission in Ukraine.

In a personal show of force, the Russian President was seen firing a sniper rifle during a visit to a training facility for armed personnel in Ryazan, southeast of Moscow.

The visit was his way of raising the morale of soldiers who will be joining the Ukraine war.

A video, showing Putin wearing goggles and ear protection as she shoots a sniper rifle, went viral.

He is also seen patting on a soldier’s shoulder and wishing him good luck.

Watch the video posted and shared on social media:

After weeks of relative lull, Russia renewed renewed its attack on Ukraine with missile strikes in different cities including Kyiv and precise hits on energy systems.

At least 30% of Ukraine’s power stations have been destroyed by Russian missile strikes in a week.

Putin, who was accompanied on the trip to Ryazan by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, declared martial law a day earlier in four annexed regions of Ukraine in a step condemned as illegal by the United Nations General Assembly.
