Putin Proposes Humanitarian Mission in Konstantinovka

Vladimir Putin proposes conducting a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka, Donetsk region – as it was done in Aleshki (Oleshki) under Kherson.

Consensus

Vladimir Putin proposed organizing a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka based on the model used in Oleshky.
The proposal was made during a meeting in the Kremlin with U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Putin claimed that Russian forces control Konstantinovka and stated that if Ukraine claims control, it should ensure safety from its side.
The mission would involve Russian and Ukrainian ombudsmen, with foreign journalists observing.
Russia stated it would take five days to clear the area of mines.
The U.S. envoys supported the idea, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.
Ukraine expressed skepticism, fearing the mission could be used for military repositioning.
