Putin proposes 'humanitarian mission' in Kostyantynivka, falsely claims capture

Putin proposed a 'humanitarian mission' in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk, to US envoys, citing Oleksandrivka as a model, but falsely claimed the city was captured in July. The proposal appears aimed at legitimizing Russian presence and influencing negotiations, though the city remains under Ukrainian control. This marks a rhetorical escalation in peace talks, using humanitarian framing to advance territorial claims.
