Vladimir Putin makes surprise visit to Mariupol

Footage was aired of Putin being shown around the port city

President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Mariupol, scene of some of the worst devastation of his year-old invasion.

This was the closest Putin has got to the frontlines and it looked like a gesture of defiance – coming a day after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest.

The ICC accused him of the war crime of deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.

State television aired footage of Putin being shown around the port city by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin – meeting rehoused residents and being briefed on reconstruction.

Mariupol became a byword for death and destruction. Much of it was reduced to ruins in the first months of the war and it fell to Russian forces in May.

Hundreds were killed in the bombing of a theatre where families with children were sheltering.

Moscow has said since it invaded last February that it does not target civilians.

This was Putin’s first visit to the Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine’s Donbas region since the war started.

He went there by helicopter following a visit to Crimea on the ninth anniversary of its annexation by Russia from Ukraine.

The Kremlin released video, showing Putin back in Russia after his trip and meeting the top command of the Ukraine military operation.

The Russian president has not publicly commented on the ICC warrant, but his spokesman called it legally “null and void”.

Violence erupts in The Hague as police clash with anti-migration protesters, leading to arrests and injuries ahead of elections.


Violence broke out in The Hague as Dutch police deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of anti migration demonstrators. The protest, organised by a right wing activist just weeks before a national election, turned chaotic with thirty people arrested and two officers injured.

Protesters waved Dutch flags and far right symbols while clashing with authorities, throwing rocks and bottles. A police car was set alight, a highway was blocked, and the headquarters of the centre left D66 party was vandalised, with its leader condemning the destruction as an attack on democracy.

Far right leader Geert Wilders, who currently leads in opinion polls, condemned the violence despite being invited to attend.
