It is important to note that the city of Mariupol is currently under Ukrainian control, and the fact that Putin visited a Ukrainian city that is under Russian military control raises concerns and questions about his intentions.
It is unclear what the purpose of Putin's visit was, but it could be seen as a show of strength or an attempt to assert Russian control over the area. The fact that Putin drove a car through the city and interacted with locals could also be interpreted as an attempt to project a sense of normalcy and stability in the region.
