Hundreds evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky during ceasefire
Hundreds of residents have been evacuated from the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky during a localised ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump.
The evacuation of residents from the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky began on Friday under a ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, which has held since Tuesday and is scheduled to end on Sunday. An aid convoy of 25 buses and ambulances delivered food and medicine whilst evacuating those wishing to leave. Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and his Russian counterpart Yana Lantratova coordinated the operation together. Evacuees travel to southern Russia before flying to Belarus and driving into Ukrainian-held territory in the Chernihiv region. Several hundred residents chose to remain in the city, which has faced severe shortages of food, water, electricity and medicine since Russian occupation in 2022.
