The humanitarian operation in Alsheki is planned to be carried out today or tomorrow, said Vladimir Putin. The president emphasized that the Ukrainian side had mined the approaches to the city, thereby actually creating the conditions for a humanitarian disaster. "Regarding the Russian-Ukrainian conflict zone, at this very time, these days, today, tomorrow, by the way, an operation is planned, with the support of the first lady of the USA, to provide specific assistance to the civilian population. The situation has been developing for a long time, now I will not talk about how the other side acted, mining the approaches to this populated area and creating an almost human catastrophe, but we are also creating an almost human catastrophe. As we deal with the issues of a possible peace settlement of the Ukrainian crisis itself, thank you very much for your performance." Video not loading? Look at Mach!
