A temporary ceasefire was established in the area of the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky (Kherson region). It began at 3:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. Moscow time). According to estimates by the Ukrainian government, between two and six thousand civilians are trapped there under blockade and are suffering from hunger. Russia's Ministry of Defense stated that in connection with preparations for a "humanitarian operation" in the Oleshky area, it had ceased fire on the Kherson direction and introduced a "silence regime." The Ukrainian command had previously confirmed the agreement on a temporary ceasefire. "The silence regime is being established exclusively for the humanitarian operation: delivery of aid to residents currently in the city and preparation for the free movement of the civilian population from Oleshky," the General Staff said in a statement. "We urge everyone during this period to be especially cautious regarding the information you receive and share... Do not trust unverified reports, and do not spread rumors about the routes, time, and location of the movement of people and humanitarian columns," it noted. The frontline city has been cut off from food and medicine supplies for many months. Earlier, the BBC spoke with residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky who described how they are suffering from malnutrition - including boiling soup from weeds - and how dangerous it is to evacuate the city due to mined roads. Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, who negotiated with Melania Trump on the Ukrainian side, stated that the operation to rescue people in Oleshky is extremely difficult to implement. "As part of our agreement, first – a silence regime will be ensured. Second – humanitarian cargo will be delivered to Oleshky. Third – free movement of the civilian population out of Oleshky will be ensured," he said in a video message on Telegram. Kherson is controlled by Ukraine, while Oleshky was occupied by Russian forces back in 2022. In 2023, most of the city was flooded due to the Russian army's blowing up of the Kakhovka Reservoir dam.
