Putin visits Kursk region after Ukraine forces pushed back
President Putin has visited the border region of Kursk several weeks after Moscow said it had driven Ukrainian troops from the area. The Russian leader met volunteer organisations in the region on Tuesday and visited the Kursk-II nuclear power plant, the Kremlin said on Wednesday. 'Vladimir Putin made a working visit the previous day to the Kursk region,' including a visit with the interim governor, Alexander Khinshtein, the Kremlin said. He told Khinshtein that the Kremlin supported the idea of continuing monthly payments to displaced families that still could not return to their homes. Disgruntled residents there had previously expressed their disapproval over a lack of compensation in rare organised protests.

Putin has invitation to visit Iran, but dates have yet to be set, Kremlin says
MOSCOW, May 14 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has an invitation to visit Iran, but the dates have not yet been agreed, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday. Iran's government spokesman Fatemeh Mohajerani was quoted by Russian state news agency RIA Novosti on Tuesday as saying that Putin's visit to Iran "is currently being worked out." Moscow and Tehran signed a 20-year strategic partnership agreement in January, the two countries have supplied each other with weapons, and Russia has defended what it says is Tehran's right to peaceful nuclear energy. "Indeed, President Putin has an invitation to pay an official or working visit to Iran. The dates have not yet been agreed. As soon as they are agreed, we will inform you," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about a possible visit. "We highly value our partnership with this country and we highly value the depth of our relationship in a wide variety of areas." The last time Putin visited Iran was in 2022, months after he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine.

Iran is preparing for Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit, Tehran says
Iran is preparing for a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iran's government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani was quoted by Russia's state RIA news agency as saying on Monday. "Putin's trip to Tehran is currently being worked out, preparations are underway," Mohajerani was quoted as saying by RIA. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin. Putin held talks with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran in 2022, the Kremlin leader's first trip outside the former Soviet Union after he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on February 24 of the same year. While Moscow has bought weapons from Iran for its war in Ukraine and signed a 20-year strategic partnership deal with Tehran earlier this year, their relationship since the 16th century, when Muscovy officially established relations with the Persian Empire, has at times been troubled. Iranian officials say that Moscow often talks tough but is wary of getting dragged into a major war in the Middle East, despite Russia's foray into Syria in 2015. Unlike some deals Russia has struck with other countries, the strategic partnership deal signed between Iran and Russia earlier this year did not include a mutual defence clause.
