Ukraine-Krieg: Hilfsaktion für Frontstadt Oleschky läuft an
Nach diplomatischen Vermittlungen läuft eine Hilfsaktion für ein umkämpftes Dorf in der Ukraine an. Russische und ukrainische Truppen wollen eine örtliche Feuerpause einhalten.
Kyiv. Russia and Ukraine cease fire starting Monday for a humanitarian aid operation targeting the front city of Olesky, currently under Russian control in the Ukrainian part of Crimea. Both Russian and Ukrainian command headquarters confirmed a 24-hour ceasefire beginning 3:00 AM to deliver food and medicine to the trapped civilians.
The city is fully mined, and Ukrainian forces have intermittently used drones for supply drops, many shot down by Russian forces. Plans now include clearing mines to create a secure corridor. It's unclear if the remaining ~2,000 residents can leave their city. The humanitarian ceasefire originated from a White House initiative in Washington, with First Lady Melania Trump reportedly intervening via a local truce in the ongoing conflict zone.
Both sides agreed to halt hostilities temporarily, according to the White House. The Ukrainian General Staff emphasized the ceasefire would only apply to the humanitarian operation, urging everyone to handle information cautiously during the period. "Trust no unconfirmed reports and do not spread rumors about routes, times, and locations where people and humanitarian convoys move," the statement added.
