Putin goes to Ukraine, visits occupied Mariupol

Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited Mariupol, a Ukrainian city in the Donetsk region, which has been occupied by Russia since May last year.

Putin flew to Mariupol by helicopter and traveled through several districts of the city, making stops and talking to residents, writes TASS.

His visit comes after the International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Friday it had issued an arrest warrant against Putin and accused him of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.
