Russia, Ukraine say Oleshky demining operations complete, humanitarian operation to proceed
Russia and Ukraine say the route has been cleared for a humanitarian convoy and evacuations after days of demining.
- On Tuesday, Russia and Ukraine began a localized ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in Kherson, to facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries and civilian evacuations brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump.
- Russian forces have occupied Oleshky since 2022, trapping around 2,000 civilians under a blockade where residents face severe shortages of food, water, and medicine amid restricted movement.
- Expanding the ceasefire on Tuesday, Melania Trump said the agreement now covers the wider Kherson region to provide "safe passage" for humanitarian convoys, as Russian units conduct "engineering reconnaissance" to clear roads.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that demined routes might force civilians to "head towards Russia and stay there," while residents fear potential reprisals for perceived support of Ukraine.
- Ukrainian official David Arakhamia described the truce as the "largest de-escalation since 2022," lasting until November 1, while The Kremlin indicated this US-mediated agreement could set a precedent for humanitarian pauses elsewhere.
