Vladimir Putin flew to Mariupol for a surprise visit to Russiaan-occupied territory in Ukraine, according to Kremlin’s press release.
Putin arrived by helicopter, and then drove through the city in a car, the Kremlin said, inspecting reconstruction works in several neighborhoods. The Kremlin also said that Putin spoke with some local residents but did not indicate the exact time when it happened.
It was Putin’s second trip to newly annexed territories after he visited Crimea on Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of Russia’s illegal takeover of the Black Sea peninsula.
