Here is a revised title: **US-brokered truce holds in occupied Oleshky as demining starts for aid corridor**

theguardian.com —

A US-brokered ceasefire in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky is holding after 30 hours without incident, with demining underway to enable a humanitarian corridor for aid and civilian evacuations, both sides confirmed Wednesday. Ukraine’s Dmytro Lubinets and Russia’s Yana Lantratova reported no violations since the truce began Tuesday morning. Route demining is a "crucial step" toward safe aid delivery and allowing residents to leave, Lubinets said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted no massive attacks on nearby Kherson since the ceasefire began. The truce's success hinges on evacuating Oleshky's estimated 2,000 residents facing food shortages. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov cast doubt on November talks, citing the Middle East situation. Separately, Russia issued grain export permits from the Sea of Azov for the first time since July 10.
