Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed organizing a humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka following the example of Oleshky, APA's Moscow correspondent reports.

Putin said during a meeting with US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin.

He emphasized that Russia needs five days to clear mines from the area near Kostiantynivka.

"Russia controls Kostiantynivka and is ready to ensure the security of the humanitarian mission. If Ukraine believes it controls the city, let it ensure its own security," Putin said.

Putin proposed instructing the Russian and Ukrainian ombudsmen to organize the mission.

The Russian President also stated that he wants peace in Ukraine to be permanent.
