The women listened to Putin’s remarks but their own comments to the president were not made public
Russian President Vladimir Putin met today with mothers of soldiers – either killed or still fighting – in Ukraine and told them that he and the entire Russian leadership share their pain.
Sitting with the women around one table, with tea, cake and fruit, Putin said Moscow shares the pain of those who have lost their sons.
“I would like you to know that I personally and the entire leadership of the country share your pain,” Putin said.
“We understand that nothing can replace the loss of a son – especially for a mother,” Putin said, sighing and pausing every now and then to clear his throat. “We share this pain.”
