  "account": "On November 2, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov ruled out further humanitarian operations similar to the recent Oleshky evacuation for now. Following a nearly six-day ceasefire, over 750 civilians were evacuated from the Russian-occupied town in Kherson Oblast. Peskov stated that each case is unique and there are no similar plans or initiatives at this time. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed openness to further humanitarian ceasefires in other parts of the front line, welcoming the involvement of U.S. first lady Melania Trump in this endeavor. Evacuees from Oleshky reached Ukrainian-controlled territory via the Belarusian border on October 31, following a 19-hour journey. Russia's Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, also expressed willingness to cooperate with his Russian counterpart to arrange future humanitarian ceasefires, emphasizing the importance of preserving this mechanism to continue helping people and saving lives. Around 800 people were evacuated during the humanitarian operation, with the option of choosing evacuation to either Ukraine or Russia; however, the exact number of evacuees for each country remains unclear.",
