He stated this during the 41st meeting of the Russian organizing committee "Victory".
"The leaders of the regions, and even more so the heads of municipalities are obliged to know the needs of each veteran, to respond to their requests as sensitively and as a matter of priority," Putin said.
The head of state also emphasized that during the Year of Remembrance and Glory on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory, it is necessary "to exclude a formal and indifferent approach to organizing events."
Earlier, WWII veteran from Yeysk Sergey Terleev thanked Putin for the invitation to the Victory Parade and told RT that he was looking forward to this trip.
RT is broadcasting the meeting live.
