Ukraine-Krieg: Waffenruhe um Oleschky: Moskau und Kiew reagieren positiv
Die Menschen in der Kleinstadt Oleschky an der Front leiden. Nach einer US-Mitteilung über eine lokale Waffenruhe kommen auch aus Moskau und Kiew positive Signale.
In response to a US announcement, both Russia and Ukraine have positively reacted to a localized ceasefire in the besieged front town of Oleshky. Russian General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov said Russian forces would cease fire in the direction of Crimea as part of a humanitarian operation near Oleshky. The ceasefire would begin at 4:00 AM Moscow time (2:00 AM CET) on Tuesday.
Ukrainian human rights envoy Dmytro Lubinez announced the ceasefire would ensure humanitarian aid delivery and enable residents' free movement. The White House stated First Lady Melania Trump mediated a local ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, agreeing to halt hostilities starting October 29. Pope Francis had also previously called for a truce in the besieged town, which lies in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine on the Dnipro River.
Oleshky, surrounded by mines, has been under Ukrainian control and cut off from supplies. Russian officials say about 2,000 people are held there. Humanitarian organizations have long complained about the precarious humanitarian situation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow said the evacuation would take at least a few days, and anyone wishing to leave Oleshky could do so. Russia welcomed First Lady Trump's efforts to coordinate the humanitarian operation.
