На зустрічі з представниками США Путін запропонував організувати «гуманітарну місію» в Костянтинівці, за яку ще тривають бої
What happened
Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a "humanitarian mission" in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, at a meeting with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, modeled on the one in Oleshky.
Putin said Russia controls the city and can guarantee security, and that Moscow needs five days to clear mines near it, Interfax reported.
He also said 400–500 civilians remain there and suggested inviting foreign press, including American, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
Ukraine's military has repeatedly said its forces are still in the city, and the DeepState map does not show it under Russian control.
Presidential communications adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said Russia moved equipment into Oleshky and rotated troops there under cover of a humanitarian operation, so its aim in Kostiantynivka is clear, though details must be established.
Kyiv has not formally responded to the proposal; Putin's earlier claim of capturing the city was rejected by Ukraine's General Staff as untrue.
“If, as the Ukrainian authorities claim, they control this city, let them ensure security”
