It is hoped that the visit will give new impetus to the two countries' relations.
Vladimir Putin was heckled during a surprise visit to Mariupol in Ukraine, just days after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him. Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow on Monday to offer a political boost for Putin, while Beijing has called for a cease-fire.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to the occupied city of Mariupol in southeastern Ukraine, his first trip to Ukrainian territory since Moscow illegally annexed the region. The visit has been met with bitter reactions from Ukrainian officials and has been widely seen as a show of defiance by Putin. Roman Koval, 25, expressed his negative opinion of the visit, saying Putin has no support and is weak. The international community is yet to respond to the visit and its implications for the region.
Vladimir Putin has made a surprise visit to the Russian-occupied port city of Mariupol, Ukraine, in an act of defiance two days after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him.

This visit is seen as a show of support for the Russian-occupied territory and is likely to be met with criticism from the international community.
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of overseeing the unlawful abduction and deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia. U.S. President Joe Biden has commented on the situation, saying that the warrant was “justified”, although the U.S. does not recognize the court's jurisdiction. This is a major blow to Putin, who has used his tough-guy image and ability to manipulate world leaders to maintain his grip on power.
Vladimir Putin traveled to Crimea to mark the ninth anniversary of its annexation from Ukraine, one day after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him accusing him of war crimes. The warrant will severely limit Putin's ability to travel outside Russia, and in response he visited an art school and a children's center to emphasize the court's accusation of child abduction. The warrant is unlikely to lead to Putin's arrest, but will lock in his status as an international pariah.
