The situation in overview: Ceasefire for Oleshky: Aid transports to start
After a ceasefire mediated by Melania Trump, a relief transport can start for Oleshky in southern Ukraine. The route has been cleared of mines - but the evacuation must also be organized.
A humanitarian aid effort for the Russian-occupied town of Oleschky in southern Ukraine, facilitated by US First Lady Melania Trump, is entering its final phase. A route for the aid convoy has been cleared of mines and a schedule for distributing supplies and evacuating residents has been published. A local ceasefire has been agreed for Oleschky and nearby areas, including the regional capital Cherson, to allow for safe passage of aid and evacuation of residents.
The aid convoy, carrying dozens of tons of food, hygiene supplies, and medicine, is set to arrive at the local hospital, where residents can collect supplies and depart if they wish. Several hundred people are reportedly waiting to be evacuated from Oleschky, which has been under Russian occupation since February 2022.
