Putin listened to their opinion on Friday during a visit to the headquarters of the Joint Operational Group of Russia on combat operations in Ukraine, TASS and Interfax report.

“We will listen to the commanders of each operational direction, and I would like to hear your proposals for our immediate and mid-term actions,” Putin said, TASS quoted.

Putin spent the entire day of Friday at the headquarters, his spokesman Dmytro Peskov told Interfax.

In a video released by the Kremlin, Putin presided over a meeting with about a dozen people at a round table, flanked by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Army Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov.

Putin was then videotaped at another negotiating table at the joint task force headquarters, soliciting suggestions from several military commanders.
