Russia used the truce to redeploy troops. Peskov claims it's a "common practice"

Sky News questioned Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov about reports that the Russian army used a ceasefire to regroup and resupply near Oleshky. Peskov referred journalists to the defense ministry, downplaying the significance of such actions as common practice. He suggested that Ukrainian forces also took advantage of the ceasefire for regrouping. Reports from Sky News indicated that Russian armored vehicles were seen in Oleshky, with soldiers moving ammunition, contradicting claims of humanitarian missions. Ukrainian military commander Dmytro Pulinec stated that Russian troops strengthened their positions during the ceasefire, which lasted from October 27 to November 1 for humanitarian operations. Eyewitness accounts reported over 30 bodies being removed from a local morgue, suggesting casualties from conflict rather than natural causes.
