In a meeting with Witkoff and Kushner in the Kremlin, Putin proposed conducting a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka, modeled after the operation in Alsheki.
Putin also said that Russia controls Konstantinovka and is ready to ensure the security of the humanitarian mission. According to him, the Russian side needs five days to clear mines in the city area. If Kyiv believes she controls the city, let her provide security on her side.
Putin then said he wanted peace in Ukraine to last forever.
In addition, Putin said that foreign soldiers in Ukraine would be a legitimate target for the Russian military.
