Putin Proposes Humanitarian Mission In Kostiantynivka

Vladimir Putin has proposed organizing a humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka, in the Kramatorsk District of Ukraine’s Donetsk Region, modelled on the operation in Oleshky, which is occupied by Russia, TASS reports.

On October 23, US First Lady Melania Trump said she had reached an agreement with Ukraine and Russia on a ceasefire in Oleshky. On October 27, a ceasefire was introduced in the area around Oleshky to allow a humanitarian mission to provide assistance to civilians and evacuate residents. The ceasefire remained in effect until 10:59 p.m. on November 1. More than 750 people were reportedly evacuated from Oleshky. Some went to Russia, while others travelled to Ukraine via Belarus.
