Putin offered to carry out a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, following negotiations in the Kremlin with the special envoy of the United States Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, took the initiative to carry out a humanitarian operation in Konstantinovka (today there are 400-500 civilians there). The mission should follow the last operation in Ilyushki, Kherson region.
Moscow is ready to clear the area of mines within five days and take action following Alyosha's example; If the Ukrainian side believes that the city is under their control, they must provide security from their side.
It is proposed to entrust the organization of the mission to the Human Rights Commission of Russia and Ukraine - Yana Lantertova and Dmitry Lubintz.

During the meeting, Vladimir Putin also touched on the issue of the possible deployment of foreign military forces in Ukraine. According to him, Russia opposed such a scenario from the very beginning and sees the presence of foreign soldiers as a threat to national security. Any foreign unit on the territory of Ukraine will be considered a legitimate military target for the Russian armed forces, the president emphasized.
Putin noted that Russia has not closed the dialogue with Europe. It was the Europeans who broke off the contacts. He also expressed hope that the United States could work with European countries to decide what they want - peace or continued war. According to the president, Moscow is aware of the "grey zones" issue raised by Ukraine, but for Russia there is only one demarcation line - the state border. In addition, Putin said that he wants the peace in Ukraine to be eternal, and not a temporary truce.
American representatives, in turn, reported progress in the negotiation process. Steve Witkoff called the upcoming prisoner exchange evidence of progress and noted that the Europeans were kept informed of the contacts in Abu Dhabi, even though they were not directly involved in them.
