Hundreds evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky under US-brokered ceasefire
Hundreds of residents have been evacuated from the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky and returned to Ukrainian-held territory after a localised ceasefire.
Hundreds of residents from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in Ukraine's Kherson region were evacuated on Friday and Saturday under a localised ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, with support from Pope Leo XIV. The city, occupied since 2022, has faced severe shortages of food, water, electricity and medicine for months, forcing residents to eat grass and weeds to survive. A humanitarian convoy of 25 buses and ambulances delivered aid and evacuated those who wished to leave. Evacuees travelled to the Russian city of Anapa, then flew to Belarus before crossing into Ukrainian territory in the Chernihiv region on Saturday, where they were reunited with families. The ceasefire, the most significant pause in fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion began over four years ago, is expected to continue through Sunday. Ukrainian and Russian officials said those who remained in the city received emergency supplies.
