Ceasefire in Ołeszki and expansion of the quiet zone. Ukraine launches a humanitarian mission
A ceasefire for a humanitarian operation in the Russian-occupied city of Oleszki began earlier than planned, confirmed by Ukrainian human rights spokesperson Dmytro Lubinets. The ceasefire, effective from October 27, allows for humanitarian aid delivery and road clearance. Melania Trump played a key role in negotiations, facilitating communication between Ukrainian and Russian authorities. The operation aims to provide essential supplies to the remaining residents, who face severe shortages. The ceasefire is set to last until November 1, with plans for civilian assessments and potential evacuations.
