Putin visited the captured city of Mariupol
Russian state media say that President Vladimir Putin has visited the devastated Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which was captured by Russian forces last May.
The TASS news agency reported that Mr. Putin spoke with residents after traveling to the city by helicopter.
If this report is confirmed, it would be Mr. Putin’s first visit to newly occupied Ukrainian territory since the Russian invasion began over a year ago.
On Saturday, Vladimir Putin also visited the Crimean Peninsula.
