Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed organizing a "humanitarian mission" to Kostyantynivka, a frontline town in eastern Ukraine.
Putin made the suggestion on Thursday while speaking to US envoys in Moscow. He said there are still around 400 to 500 civilians in the town.
He proposed doing the same thing that was done in Oleshky, a Russian-controlled town where a US-brokered truce last month allowed hundreds of stranded residents to leave.
Moscow says it seized Kostyantynivka in July. That claim has not been independently confirmed.
