Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Avdiivka, a frontline town in the Donbas, to honor its defenders. If we compare a similar video of Vladimir Putin's visit to Kherson and Luhansk Oblast and Volodymyr Zelensky's visit, near the Russian president, the soldiers have no weapons either on their belts or in their hands...)

Over the past week, Germany handed over an anti-aircraft missile complex Patriot with missiles to Ukraine. This follows from information on the website of the German government, writes "European Truth".
In addition to the Patriot air defense system and its missiles, the German side provided 16 Mercedes Zetros trucks and two border guard cars. Germany had earlier promised to transfer one battery of the Patriot air defence system to Ukraine. One battery has between four and eight launchers, each designed for four missiles.
The US was the first to announce the transfer of the Patriot system to Ukraine in December 2022 as part of another military aid package. Additional Patriot systems and a number of missiles will also be supplied to Ukraine by the Netherlands.
The Ukrainian military completed training on the Patriot air defence system in the US at the end of March - earlier than expected.

Putin was in the town of Henichesk, or rather a former holiday resort, during that visit. 140 km from the front line and one of the quieter ones at that. Perhaps this is a reaction to Zelensky's travels, who coincidentally visited the soldiers in or around Avdijivka around the same time, that is, a short distance from the front line in an area where probably the heaviest fighting is taking place right after Bakhmut. Putin's trip, complete with the faux-pas of dating for the sake of making a statement about the approaching Easter, thus looks rather ridiculous and spasmodic. But for a domestic audience that largely has no access to information other than through regime-controlled media, it is probably sufficient.
