A day after being accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, President Vladimir Putin has made a surprise visit to the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Mariupol, scene of some of the worst devastation of his year-old invasion.
Russian state television showed extended footage of Mr Putin being shown around the city on Saturday night (local time), meeting rehoused residents and being briefed on reconstruction efforts by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
