The visit was an apparent act of defiance, coming just days after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him.
It also prompted outrage from Ukraine -- the defense ministry compared Putin to a "thief" visiting "under the cover of night" -- with the city having been reduced to ruins in Russia's offensive.
All of the footage released of Putin's visit is after dark, a possible way for the authorities to conceal damage. During the trip, the Kremlin said Putin also examined the coastline of Mariupol, visiting a yacht club and theater building.Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, who accompanied him, spoke in detail to Putin about "ongoing construction and restoration work" in the city.
