The heavily tested city is experiencing a truce. The American First Lady has also spoken out.

Russia and Ukraine have announced a local ceasefire to facilitate humanitarian aid in Oleshky, with food and medical supplies being delivered. The ceasefire, lasting until November 1, was confirmed by both sides and initiated by Melania Trump. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that attacks in the Kherson area have ceased to prepare for humanitarian operations. Oleshky, occupied by Russian forces since the war began, faces a deepening humanitarian crisis, with only about 1,700 residents remaining. The ceasefire aims to ensure safe passage for humanitarian convoys and has been described as the largest de-escalation since 2022.
