Putin Visits Occupied City of Mariupol in Show of Defiance Despite International Criticism

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.
