Oleshky ceasefire expires, Ukraine evacuates civilians from parts of Kherson region
Ukraine said 167 civilians were evacuated as the six-day truce ended, with no violations reported and fighting resuming in the Kherson region.
- On Sunday, the Ukrainian military evacuated 167 civilians from the Kherson region as the six-day local ceasefire in the Russian-held town of Oleshky neared its expiry at midnight Moscow time.
- First Lady Melania Trump and Pope Leo XIV brokered the six-day truce, enabling a humanitarian mission that provided residents with food, medicine, and clean water during the pause in fighting.
- Evacuees included 22 children and 21 people with limited mobility, transported via 25 buses and nine ambulances in a coordinated operation between military and local authorities.
- Kyiv offered an extension, but Russia declined, prompting Kherson Governor Oleksandr Prokudin to urge residents to avoid 'red zones' near the Dnipro River due to high strike intensity.
- Military action persisted elsewhere on Sunday, with strikes reported in the Sumy and Vinnytsia regions, indicating broader conflict continues despite the localized pause in the south.
