issued by the international criminal court on friday, accusing vladimir putin awful crimes. with the ma moment during the unannounced trip build as a working visit by the kremlin, the russian leader travelled by car driving himself to several districts in mariel, pull, chatting with people outside and visiting them in newly built homes, of which he also received updates about reconstruction works in and around the heavily destroyed city with before returning to russia to meet with his top military commander. the port city of mario pole had been home to some 450000 people before the russian siege. much of the strategically important city now lays in ruins, including its drama theatre, which was hit by a russian air strike almost exactly one year ago,

killing hundreds of people. many of them children who had been sheltering inside. it's also home to the as of style steel works, which became emblematic during the siege of mario pool, a last pocket of ukrainian resistance that culminated in the surrender of the ukrainian soldiers. this is the 1st time putin as believe to have set foot in the russian occupied ukrainian mainland since moscow's full scale invasion last year. it comes a day after we made an unexpected trip to crimea, to mark the 9th anniversary of the black sea peninsulas annexation from ukraine. a move most of the world has denounced as illegal in service to pull the largest city in crimea. vladimir putin visited an art school and a children's center. hours after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant, accusing him of bearing personal responsibility for the abduction, an unlawful deportation of thousands of children from occupied areas of ukraine to

russia. which i now by our correspondence connelly and keith nick, hi there, bring us up to speed. what's the reaction from ukraine to putin's visit? the real sense in ukraine that this was putin's kind of unspoken reaction to for them is lensky, ukraine's presence repeated visit to front lines. you know, they've been a lot of criticism, especially in russia, that putin was most often in safe locations in moscow room. it to be in a bunker at the time, keeping away from public occasions, events let alone not coming to the front lines. and so that this was an attempt to prove that he is not scared that he feels comfortable. but it didn't really come off, at least, didn't really convince many people here in ukraine, i guess that was predictable. but the fact that this all happened at night that his only interaction with locals was a pretty staged kind of event, was the people who had received new housing. and all seemed fairly stilted and

scripted that didn't really come across as a man who felt particularly safe or relaxed in mary paul. and it didn't really convince anyone that he himself is convinced that miracle is going to stay in russian hands in the lot. hm. interesting now, nick, there are of course symbolic battles in war. places like stalingrad waterloo may be even dark mode. now, what does marry a pole symbolized for ukrainians? the city that was at the top of people's consciousness for a long time, it was basically the location of the 1st major battle of this war. i think people will remember the images of new mothers escaping from a from a hospital that had been hit with a new babies or in their arms, the images of that theater that was destroyed with people at sheltering in it basement. and i think just those can ariel shots of a city that basically has been left in ruins. this is city of almost half 1000000

people. and the most conservative estimate say that at most a 3rd, probably more like a quarter of the pre war relation are still there most have left. that is certainly an image that has kind of set itself on people's consciousness. and then you have near the as of style siege ukrainian soul is holding out there for weeks and weeks coming out. emaciated, spending a long time in russian custody. so this is definitely a city that people's attention is focused on and more portly, this is steve held out in 2014. so even before this current phase, the war, this was see that was very prominent here. and certainly putin's visit there is something that people are paying a lot of attention to him. nick, we see person apparently visiting re rebuilt parts of mary paul. but it's worth underlining that this was mostly destroyed by massive shilling from his troops. you know, is that irony recognized in russia at all? i think if you look at most of the statistics, it seems like the majority of the russian public is trying to pay little attention possible to this war. after an initial few weeks of enthusiasm,

when it seemed like things were going well, i think people are trying to kind of pay as little attention to this as possible folks in their private lives. but certainly, i think it's a pattern. we've seen it on time again in place like 70 of kalissa chance in the la hans region last summer. now, in baltimore, basically after those 1st few weeks, russia's army has not be able to make any progress without massive use while to re, with basically gonna scorchers tactics. and they're just not able to, even if they wanted to, to kind of spare and use precision strike to attack military targets rather than just leveling everything. there is certainly a sense that when russia makes progress on the ground here in ukraine, that normally involves total destruction. and basically in possibility of normal life of civilians left kind of in the root connelly and keep their nick, thank you. let's get around up now. of some other world news headlines now in bangladesh, at least 19 people have been killed in a bass crash. the vehicle still veered off a major freeway and plunged into
