A joint Russian-Ukrainian humanitarian operation began Friday in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine’s Kherson region, as a local ceasefire continued to hold.
A convoy of 25 buses, ambulances and humanitarian supplies entered the town to deliver food, medicine, hygiene products and fuel. Residents were offered the choice of remaining in Oleshky with humanitarian assistance or evacuating to Ukrainian-controlled territory or Russia.
Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova appeared together in Oleshky and confirmed that residents had begun boarding buses. Lantratova said some planned to travel to Russia and others to Ukraine, but officials did not provide verified totals. Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi initially said 527 residents intended to reach Ukrainian-controlled territory, then withdrew the figure and said no exact number was available.
Residents traveling to Ukraine were expected to pass through Russia and Belarus before entering Ukrainian-held areas, according to Ukrainian officials. Lubinets said designated routes had been cleared of mines ahead of the convoy. Officials said two people were killed during demining work.
The ceasefire, limited to Oleshky and surrounding parts of the Kherson region, began Tuesday and was due to continue through Sunday evening. Fighting continued elsewhere in Ukraine. A local volunteer alleged that Russian authorities had started moving residents before the agreed evacuation date, while Ukrainian officials said their delegation reached Oleshky safely and was speaking with residents about their needs.
