Humanitarian mission begins in occupied Oleshky as residents evacuate
A Ukrainian delegation reached occupied Oleshky on October 30 under a locally negotiated ceasefire, bringing humanitarian aid and beginning evacuations. Residents chose whether to stay, travel to Russia, or leave for Ukrainian-controlled territory via Anapa and Belarus. The initial estimate of 527 evacuees was later retracted because the number was changing.
