Starved residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky return to Ukraine during a rare local ceasefire

One resident of Russian-occupied Oleshky reported that they chopped grass and squash to survive. According to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, the individual also risked riding a bicycle through minefields to secure food for herself and her dog.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas stated that Russia's return to international forums would effectively normalize the crimes committed in Ukraine in violation of UN Charter principles, according to Ukrinform - Politics. Kallas noted that while Europeans do not wish to be photographed with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, his presence at gatherings provides an opportunity to refute Russian lies.

Kallas also described the U.S. decision to sell 500 interceptor missiles for Patriot systems to Ukraine as a positive step.
