MOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. The humanitarian operation in Konstantinovka, proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin the day before, is a very important initiative, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"Indeed, yesterday in the public part of Putin's meeting with the American guests (US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner - TASS) a very important humanitarian initiative was voiced - this initiative concerns the continuation of the experience gained in Alyoshki," he said at a briefing.

"[The initiative] is aimed at enabling 400 or 500 civilians who are still in Konstantinovka to leave this settlement, and later, in fact, to leave wherever they want: those who want to towards Ukraine, those who want to, towards Russia."
