Russia, Ukraine begin Oleshky ceasefire but keep up strikes elsewhere
- A localized ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine took effect early Tuesday in Russian-occupied Oleshky, brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump to enable humanitarian aid deliveries and civilian evacuations from the war-torn southern Ukrainian city.
- Approximately 2,000 residents remain trapped in Oleshky with dwindling food and medicine supplies since Russian forces seized the region in 2022. Explosive mines and drone attacks have prevented them from leaving.
- Civilian negotiators from both countries will visit residents' homes to assess needs before evacuation corridors open. Trump stated, "Residents who wish to evacuate will receive coordinated support and transportation to their preferred destination."
- Despite the truce, Russian missile attacks struck Kyiv on Monday, killing at least one person and injuring 10 others. Officials expressed skepticism about the ceasefire's duration amid deep mistrust between the warring sides.
- The humanitarian mission precedes trilateral peace talks scheduled for November in Abu Dhabi between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. These discussions aim to de-escalate the conflict after more than four and a half years of fighting.
