Civilians in Ukraine’s Kherson prepare for the return of war as localized ceasefire ends
The pause, brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, allowed evacuations from Oleshky and aid for about 2,000 trapped civilians, officials said.
- Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk ruled out a broader truce following the three-day humanitarian ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky, accusing Moscow of exploiting the mission to gain favor with the White House.
- The localized truce provided brief respite to nearby Kherson, which has become one of Ukraine's most dangerous cities since Kyiv's forces regained control following eight months of Russian occupation.
- Residents like Gardener Volodymyr Omeltchenko navigate constant drone swarms by moving between trees to reach work, while others manage daily life in the heavily bombarded, Stalinist-era city.
- This humanitarian respite is short-lived, with hostilities expected to resume shortly before 11:00 pm on Sunday, forcing residents to continue living in a state of permanent alert.
- Yatsenyuk warned that Moscow's willingness to negotiate is a tactic to "buy some kind of positive attitude," arguing that Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks only Ukraine's capitulation.
