Oleshky evacuees return to Ukraine under Melania’s ceasefire

The six-day truce let civilians leave after months without food, water or power, and Ukrainian officials said all evacuees crossed back safely.

  • US First Lady Melania Trump brokered a humanitarian ceasefire enabling the evacuation of hundreds of residents from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky on Friday.
  • Mounting humanitarian crises and failed prior evacuation attempts prompted the agreement, as Russia and Ukraine coordinated to provide aid to approximately 2,000 residents remaining in the devastated city.
  • An aid convoy of 25 buses arrived on Friday to transport civilians, with Trump stating, "All elements of the convoy... were established through mutual agreement."
  • Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian Human Rights Ombudsman Yana Lantratova oversaw the operation, allowing residents to choose between resettlement in Russia or transit to Ukrainian-held territory.
  • Nearly 2,000 people remain in Oleshky, and the localized ceasefire is scheduled to expire on Sunday evening, leaving the humanitarian situation uncertain.
