Oleshky evacuation begins but volunteer claims Russia already moved people outside of agreed terms
"Everyone who wishes to leave Oleshky will be given the opportunity to leave safely. At the same time, those who have decided to stay can stay and will receive all the necessary humanitarian support," Ukraine's Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky announced that 527 people from the Oleshky region in Kherson are returning to Ukraine. Preparations for their arrival have been made in various regions across the country. The Ministry of Communities and Territories Development, collaborating with the Office of the Ombudsman, regional military administrations, and the Ministry of Health, is working diligently around the clock to manage this process.
By 2:00 p.m. today, they aim to complete preliminary medical screenings for all 527 individuals. Koretsky disclosed this information during a meeting with the Verkhovna Rada on Friday, according to an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent.
Post-screening, the individuals will be transported along a complex path to Belarus, and subsequently, they will cross into Ukraine's customs territory. In Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, they will undergo additional medical examinations and receive primary healthcare along with essential supplies like clothing and hygiene items. Afterwards, they will be distributed across different Ukrainian regions. Koretsky praised U.S. First Lady Melania Trump for her humanitarian efforts concerning the Oleshky region.
