Lubinets: No humanitarian mission being prepared for Kostiantynivka

Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets stated that no humanitarian mission for Kostiantynivka is currently being prepared, and the city was not even discussed as a potential location for such an operation. Lubinets made the remarks during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada's Temporary Investigative Commission, noting that a list of settlements in the Kherson region exists for such an initiative. He emphasized that preparations could take months due to heavy daily mining by Russian forces, requiring a ceasefire and demining first. The statement follows Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's November 12 proposal to organize a humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka, similar to one in Oleshky, Kherson region. Kremlin claimed demining would take five days, but Lubinets dismissed this as unrealistic, estimating weeks to months. Ukraine's presidential office suggested Russia may use such missions to rotate its troops.
