Vladimir Putin invited the human rights commissioners of Russia and Ukraine to work on the mechanism of the humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka. The head of state noted that the previous operation in Alsheki became a successful example of bilateral cooperation.
According to the president, Russia controls Konstantinovka and is ready to ensure the security of the mission. Five days will be required for the Russian army to evacuate the area near the city. Putin added that if Kiev believes that it controls this populated area, it must ensure security on its part.
The mission in Alsheki took place on October 30. Humanitarian aid was delivered to the local residents, and those who wanted could travel to both Russia and Ukraine. The operation was preceded by the introduction of a regime of silence and large-scale mine clearance works. The mission was organized through the mediation of the first lady of the USA, Melania Trump.
