Lubinets: No humanitarian mission planned for Kostiantynivka
Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said Kostiantynivka in Donetsk region is not under consideration for a humanitarian mission similar to one in occupied Oleshky, Kherson region. He first learned of the initiative from media reports following a meeting between Russia's president and US special representatives. Lubinets stated that while a preliminary list of potential locations exists, focus remains on temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region, where residents face extremely difficult conditions. He noted similar humanitarian crises exist in other settlements across Kherson region beyond Oleshky. On November 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed organizing a humanitarian mission for Kostiantynivka based on the Oleshky model. Ukrainian presidential communications advisor Dmytro Lytvyn suggested Russia may seek to use such a mission for its own military purposes.
