Vladimir Putin proposes a humanitarian mission. "We had good experiences"

Vladimir Putin proposed a humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians from Konstantynivka, drawing on previous operations in Oleshky. He mentioned that 400-500 civilians remain in Konstantynivka, and Russian forces would need five days to clear mines in the area. The earlier operation in Oleshky involved a ceasefire negotiated with Ukrainian authorities, allowing some residents to relocate to areas controlled by Kyiv while others received humanitarian aid. However, Russia reportedly used the ceasefire to rotate troops and equipment in the region.
