vladimir putin, has visited the ukrainian city of mariupol. it s the first time he s ventured inside territory seized by russian forces since last years invasion. his visit, under cover of darkness, has been fiercely criticised by the exiled council of the southern port city, which has seen some of the fiercest battles of the war. i m joined now by the ukranian mp for kharkiv, maria mezentseva. thank you for being with us. what you make of this visit by president putin? well, nothing spectacular really. it is one of the first visit to the occupied territories that president putin has conducted. this is the scene of a brutal invasion. and i am looking at the footage of him sitting all alone in the filler monarch building, and russian authorities are claiming that they have restored the building etc, we are asking, what has been done regarding the cleaning of the green seeds over their quest but this is not a joke for us at all. apart from criticising that visit, i am linking i
