The Russian president has toured the construction site of a new nuclear power plant and spoke with local officials

Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited Kursk Region for the first time since its full liberation from Ukrainian forces, the Kremlin has said.

In late April, Putin announced the full liberation of the border areas of Kursk Region, which had been seized by Kiev's troops after they launched an incursion last August.

During his tour of the region on Tuesday, the Russian leader visited the construction site of the new Kursk 2 nuclear power plant in the city of Kurchatov. He also held a meeting with Governor Aleksandr Khinshtein, as well as the heads of local municipalities and volunteers who have been helping those affected by the incursion, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
