Aid Convoy Sets Off for Russian-Held Town of Oleshky in Ukraine, Izvestia Says
Russian and Ukrainian officials coordinated the rare joint mission as 25 buses and ambulances prepared to move residents and deliver supplies.
- On Friday, a joint humanitarian mission entered Oleshky, a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine's Kherson region, as officials from both countries coordinated evacuation and aid delivery during a localized ceasefire.
- The mission follows an 80-hour truce brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, providing a rare pause in fighting to address critical shortages of food, water, and medicine facing the town's approximately 2,000 residents.
- Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian counterpart Yana Lantratova coordinated the operation, deploying 25 buses and ambulances to allow residents to choose relocation to Russian-controlled or Ukrainian-controlled territory.
- Authorities face complications as reports indicate many residents fear interrogation or detention by Russian forces, requiring officials to monitor the operation closely to ensure safe passage for those choosing to leave.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized the operation is an isolated humanitarian case that should not signal broader ceasefire prospects, with the truce scheduled to expire Sunday evening.
