Russian officials reported that residents of Mariupol are increasingly returning to the city, with visible improvements in landscaping and public spaces. The update was shared by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin and circulated by DEA News of the region.

Khusnullin briefed President Vladimir Putin on the growing trend of people coming back to live in Mariupol, noting that the recovery effort is drawing more residents back to their homes and communities.

President Putin arrived in Mariupol by helicopter and used the visit to pause in several districts to survey ongoing reconstruction and revitalization efforts.

Khusnullin accompanied the president on the trip, offering context on the progress underway across the city.

During the briefing, Khusnullin highlighted the ongoing construction of micro-regions and the expansion of social services, including facilities for education and health care, as part of the broader rebuilding program.

According to the agency, in the Nevsky microdistrict the president met with local residents and inspected parts of the Mariupol coastline. The tour illustrated the scale of restoration, as Khusnullin explained to Putin how the city has been brought back to life through rebuilding efforts, new infrastructure, and improved public services.

Speaking to the president, Khusnullin noted that the return to the city accelerated once residents saw tangible signs of reconstruction and renewed community life. He observed that people were encouraged to come back as restoration projects advanced and public amenities began to reopen.

Plans were outlined to inaugurate the city’s first tram line by the upcoming summer, signaling a significant milestone in Mariupol’s transportation revitalization and its broader urban renaissance.

Coverage of the trip has drawn attention from major outlets, with some describing it as a careful show of support for the rebuilding process in Mariupol and Sevastopol. The context of such visits is seen by observers as part of a broader strategy to demonstrate progress in the region and reaffirm commitments to reconstruction, public services, and regional development.
