Ukraine says ceasefire in Oleshky will last until November 1
The ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky will last until 10:59 p.m. on November 1, said David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction and a member of the Ukrainian negotiating group.
The Ukrainian negotiators have announced that a ceasefire in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky will remain in effect until November 1. This development marks the most significant de-escalation since 2022, according to David Arakhamia, a leader of the Servant of the People faction and member of the Ukrainian negotiating group. Writing on his Telegram channel, Arakhamia expressed hope that such efforts bring the long-awaited peace in Ukraine closer.
The Russian side has not yet responded to this news. The ceasefire was established with the aim of evacuating civilians and delivering humanitarian aid. It began at 4:00 a.m. Moscow time (3:00 a.m. Kyiv time) and is set to continue until 10:59 p.m. on November 1.
Oleshky, located in the Kherson region, has been under Russian occupation since 2022. The city's residents have endured a state of humanitarian catastrophe throughout 2026 due to relentless drone attacks, which have deprived them of essential necessities such as food, electricity, and adequate medical care. The White House has attributed the initiation of this agreement to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump.
