Russia, Ukraine begin Oleshky ceasefire but keep up strikes elsewhere
The limited truce is meant to bring food, medicine and demining support to a town where about 2,000 people remain.
- On Tuesday, a localized ceasefire took effect in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, Ukraine, ahead of a humanitarian mission led by Melania Trump. The pause in fighting started at 3 a.m. to allow aid delivery later this week.
- Up to 2,000 people are stranded in Oleshky with dwindling food and medicine supplies, unable to leave because of explosive mines and drone attacks in the area, according to the United Nations.
- Oleshky sits in the partially occupied Kherson region about 550 kilometers southeast of Kyiv, across the Dnipro River from Kherson, which Russian forces seized during the full-scale invasion.
- Negotiators plan to deliver doctors, medicines, food, and water to Oleshky before opening evacuation corridors, with the ceasefire scheduled to last through Saturday despite deep mistrust between Russia and Ukraine.
- This humanitarian aid mission precedes a new round of talks between Russia and Ukraine expected next month, aimed at ending the war after more than 4 years of fighting.
