Putin visits the wounded at a military hospital in Moscow, in a first since the Ukraine invasion.

The Kremlin on Wednesday released brief clips of President Vladimir V. Putin visiting the wounded at a military hospital in Moscow, the first time he has made such a visit since the war in Ukraine began.

Mr. Putin, in a white gown, flanked by Defense Minister Sergei K. Shoigu, told a patient with a 9-month-old son: “He’ll be proud of his dad.”

The Russian Defense Ministry last released casualty figures on March 25, when it said that 1,351 Russian service members had been killed in Ukraine.
