Evacuation columns from Oleshky split, en route to Ukraine as ceasefire holds
Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reports that evacuation columns from occupied Oleshky have split and are en route to Ukraine, with no ceasefire violations recorded during the humanitarian mission. The silence regime has lasted 87 hours without violations, Lubinets said, coordinating the mission personally. Humanitarian aid has been delivered, and the evacuation proceeds per agreements with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova, facilitated by US First Lady Melania Trump. The evacuation route passes through Russia and Belarus to Ukraine. Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky initially stated 527 people would return but later retracted the figure. The ceasefire began October 27 and lasts until November 1, 22:59.
