First Crimea or Russia. 'FT' reveals the background of the evacuation of civilians from Oleszek

According to the Financial Times, civilians evacuating from Oleshky will first be transported to Crimea or Russia before returning to Ukraine. A ceasefire agreement has been established to facilitate the evacuation of around 2,000 trapped civilians suffering from food shortages. Russian forces are set to begin demining roads leading to the city, with buses scheduled to transport residents. The ceasefire, effective until November 1, resulted from diplomatic efforts, including appeals from U.S. First Lady Melania Trump and Pope Leo XIV to Vladimir Putin. The situation in Oleshky is critical, with mined exit routes and constant drone surveillance, raising concerns about Russia's intentions regarding the evacuees.
