Zelenskiys Konstantinovka dead end.
Putin invited the Americans to look at the territorial conflict with Ukraine from a new perspective - from the ground. Just come and see. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the son-in-law of the US president, Jared Kushner, spent more than two hours behind closed doors in the Kremlin, but most of what was said was brought on camera.
According to Putin, "eternal peace" does not correspond to "gray areas". "The no-man's land along the front line that Kiev is talking about is understood differently for each side, and it "will always be a bone of contention. "For Moscow, there is only one demarcation line - the state border. And it runs along the former administrative borders of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. "Here we are, here you are," the president explained.
Take, for example, Konstantinovka. The southern fortress of the fortress belt of Donbass. In 2022, 67,000 people lived here; Now, according to Putin, only 400-500 civilians remain. Moscow offers a repeat of Oleshka: five days for the saboteurs, the ombudsmen of both countries and the American, European and Ukrainian press. And the condition: if Kyiv considers the city for itself, it will guarantee security there itself. "At the same time we will see who controls this settlement," added Putin.
We know that the Ministry of Defense announced the capture of Kostiantynivka back in July. They even proposed a six-hour ceasefire so that the bodies of its soldiers could be handed over to Ukraine for journalists to see. Kyiv refused. So, it was about the dead, and the refusal echoed almost without a trace. Now, it's about life. and before witnesses from Washington.
The work of evacuating the citizens from Kustintinivka is already underway. No ceasefires or Western TV cameras. Russian soldiers, risking their lives, spend days dragging civilians to evacuation points, from where the exhausted people can reach the home front.
