Oleshky Residents Face Winter Shortages as Evacuation Talks Stall
The U.N. says a ceasefire and humanitarian corridor remain out of reach as residents face shortages of food, medicine and heat.
- Fewer than 2,000 residents remain in occupied Oleshky, facing a humanitarian crisis with no electricity, heat, or running water as winter approaches the southeastern Ukrainian city.
- Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine for a temporary ceasefire and humanitarian corridor have reached no agreement, the U.N. human rights office said, with Moscow providing no verifiable security guarantees.
- Tetiana Hasanenko, exiled head of the city's Ukrainian military administration, reported 100 bodies filling the hospital basement, while Lt. Yevhen Voronetskyi said his brigade delivered over 7 tons of food via drones since September.
- On Friday, Pope Leo XIV urged President Vladimir Putin to allow food and medicine deliveries and safely evacuate civilians; The Kremlin voiced support for Vatican efforts and readiness to cooperate.
- Remaining residents struggle to survive amid destroyed infrastructure as those attempting escape navigate the mined road of death, a 20-kilometer journey to Radensk with no safe passage guaranteed.
