Humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky ends after aid delivery, civilian evacuation – Lubinets

The humanitarian ceasefire in the occupied town of Oleshky, located in the Kherson region, came to an end on Sunday, November 1, according to Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets. The ceasefire, which had been in place since October 27 under the coordination of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, concluded following the successful delivery of humanitarian aid and the evacuation of civilians from the town.

This significant stage of joint humanitarian efforts alongside Russia's Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova saw both parties adhering to their commitments, allowing for the delivery of essential supplies and safe evacuation of those wishing to leave Oleshky. The Ukrainian side, in collaboration with the Russian Ombudsperson, is currently exploring opportunities to continue similar humanitarian measures to maintain a robust mechanism for cooperation and further rescue operations.

The ceasefire regime, mediated by the Vatican and U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, ensured that local residents had access to food, water, medicine, and freedom of movement, with hopes that this temporary respite could serve as a foundation for enduring peace.
