Long road from Russian occupation: Stories of Oleshky residents
Journalists representing Ukrainian and foreign media outlets spent several hours waiting for citizens who had spent over a day traveling to Ukraine from the temporarily occupied town of Oleshky in Kherson region.
Citizens from Oleshky, a town temporarily occupied by Russian forces in the Kherson region, embarked on a challenging journey to reach Ukraine for a humanitarian mission. These individuals traveled a substantial distance, covering over a day to arrive at a meeting point in Chernihiv region.
Upon their arrival, the Ukrainian State Emergency Service (SES), the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS), and various charitable foundations were prepared with tents, volunteers, hot meals, warm blankets, and pet food. The first vehicle to arrive was an SES truck, which contained animals that had endured a strenuous journey.
The animals, visibly distressed from the long travel, were promptly transferred to a URCS truck by the volunteers. There are currently around 70 animals at the site that will be given care and rehabilitation assistance. The volunteer team is dedicated to ensuring their well-being during this difficult period.
