Ukraine’s parliamentary commissioner for human rights, Dmitry Lubinets, has stated that Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) is not included in the preliminary list of settlements being considered for humanitarian missions similar to the operation proposed for Alyoshki in the Kherson region.

In a statement published on his Telegram channel, Lubinets explained that the existing preliminary list covers only settlements in the Kherson region. He said he had no information about preparations for a similar humanitarian operation in Konstantinovka.

According to the Ukrainian ombudsman, he first learned of the initiative following a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. He had received no information about the proposal before that meeting.

On November 13, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov discussed the humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka proposed by Putin. The initiative is intended to allow civilians to leave the city.

Peskov stressed that the United States and European countries should use their influence over Kyiv to secure the implementation of the proposal.

The Kremlin spokesman also stated that Russian specialists were ready to begin clearing mines from access routes leading to Konstantinovka as part of preparations for the humanitarian operation.
