  "account": "Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky has admitted to providing an inaccurate figure for the number of individuals planned to be evacuated from Oleshky, a town under temporary occupation in the Kherson region. Koretsky has asked media outlets to avoid spreading this data due to its sensitive nature. During today's government question hour, Koretsky disclosed the mistake, apologizing for the error. At present, there are no definitive numbers available as the rescue operation is still in progress and the figures are likely to change. Koretsky emphasized the importance of maintaining silence on the matter, stating that the safety of those involved and the successful completion of the operation depend on it. He confirmed this on his Telegram channel, noting that official figures would be released once the operation concludes. Previously, Koretsky had reported that 527 people were returning from Oleshky via Belarus, with accommodations already arranged in various regions.",
