"The development and restoration of new territories, of course, is an extremely important task for the whole state and, of course, this is a topic that is under the control of the president around the clock," he said, commenting on the recent visit of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to Mariupol.
Peskov called quite natural the desire of the head of state to independently "see everything on the spot."
On March 19, Putin made a working trip to Mariupol.
As part of the trip to Mariupol, he talked with local residents and inspected one of the apartments in the new building.
He also inspected the restored building of the Priazovsky State Technical University.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said that the trip of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to Mariupol was impromptu.
