Russian military units allegedly involved in Oleshky humanitarian crisis identified
Russian troops use Oleshky to launch attacks across the river, including on the liberated city of Kherson.
Russian military units, the 126th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade and the 331st Guards Parachute Regiment, have been identified as being present in or around the occupied city of Oleshky in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, according to Ukrainian investigative outlet Slidstvo.Info. The humanitarian crisis in Oleshky, where residents face severe shortages of food, water, and electricity, is believed to be linked to the presence of these units and their commanders.
The Ukrainian military controls the western bank of the Dnipro River, while Russian troops occupy both the eastern bank and the city itself. The Ukrainian military has attempted to deliver aid to the city, but Russian forces have prevented Ukrainian forces and international humanitarian organizations from accessing the occupied territories.
