  "account": "On October 4, Ukrainian forces conducted a drone delivery of nearly four metric tons of humanitarian aid to the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in Kherson Oblast. This marked the second such operation in as many weeks, demonstrating the ongoing efforts by Ukrainian authorities to provide vital supplies to those trapped under occupation. The delivery was carried out by troops from the National Guard's 11th Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Brigade, 34th Kherson Regiment, along with support from the 30th Marine Corps, 34th Borysfen Marine Brigade, and 79th Detachment of the State Border Guard Service. The operation transported 400 packages containing food, medical supplies, and kits for children, successfully reaching Oleshky. The city, which has been under Russian control since the early stages of the full-scale invasion, continues to face severe shortages of essential resources due to ongoing Russian military actions and checkpoints. The humanitarian corridor through Volyn has also been a crucial route for civilians attempting to escape, though it remains heavily fortified by Russian forces.",
