Russian President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Mariupol, Russian state media reported on Sunday , in what would be the Kremlin leader's first trip to the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine's Donbas region since the start of the war.

Putin flew by helicopter to Mariupol, Russian new agencies reported citing the Kremlin. It is the closest to the frontlines Putin has been since in the year-long war. Driving a car, Putin travelled around several districts of the city, making stops and talking to residents. While Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a number of trips to the battlefield to boost the morale of his troops and talk strategy, Putin has largely remained inside the Kremlin while running what Russia calls its"special military operation" in Ukraine.

In the Nevsky district of Mariupol, a new residential neighbourhood built by the Russian military, Putin visited a family in their home, Russian media reported.
