The video was filmed during a ceremony in central Moscow last week. In the clip, which was published by CNN , among others, the 11-year-old is seen confronting the president in a small crowd.
"My uncle is at the front right now, he's injured in the arm. He was in the hospital, but they didn't help him and now he's being sent on a new mission," the girl says, continuing:
I would like him to be transferred to a good hospital in Russia.
During the rare confrontation, Putin nods and places his hand on the girl's shoulder. He then kisses her on the head and promises to find her relative.
"We will find him. Thank you for thinking of him," the president says.
It all took place on National Unity Day on November 4, a Russian holiday established to commemorate Moscow's liberation from Polish invaders in 1612.
