Russia-Ukraine War
Russia in control of Mariupol: Vladimir Putin
Moscow/UNI: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday hailed the "successful liberation" of Mariupol, almost two months after he invaded Ukraine on Feb 24 at dawn in a surprise attack.
Terming it a success, he ordered his forces not to storm the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in the besieged city, ordering only blockade of Mariupol steelworks, even as Russian forces continued to fight the Ukrainian army.
A senior Moscow diplomat also said "Russia will stop the war when NATO stops puppeteering Ukraine".
The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on since late February.
