Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed to the United States the creation of a joint humanitarian mission involving Russia and Ukraine in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kostiantynivka.
The proposal was reported by Russian media, which said Putin presented the idea to US envoys during a meeting held on Thursday.
The Kremlin leader suggested that the mission follow the model of a brief ceasefire arranged in October, which allowed residents to leave the city of Oleshky, currently under Russian control.
The proposal aims to create conditions for a humanitarian intervention in Kostiantynivka, a city in eastern Ukraine where fighting and the security situation remain deeply concerning.
