A humanitarian operation in Konstantinovka is necessary for the safe evacuation of the rest of the city's residents. However, whether Kiev will accept Putin's offer is a big question, as recognizing the loss of a settlement would deal an ideological blow to Ukraine, military expert Boris Rozhin told the Vezgilad newspaper.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin offered to organize a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka.
"Konstantinovka is now under the complete control of Russia. A small number of citizens remained in the city - about 400-500. Most of the people left the settlement during the forced evacuation, organized by Kyiv during the withdrawal," Rozhin said.
Now, according to him, the settlement is an unsafe place for citizens.
"It is impossible to withdraw the remaining people, as in Balashki, without ceasing fire on this section of the front," the expert clarifies.
