Local Ceasefire in Oleshky Marks Historic Precedent for Evacuations, Says Ukrainian Commander

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

Ukrainian drone forces commander Robert Brovdi called the evacuation from occupied Oleshky a historic precedent of a local ceasefire, citing its fragile, multi-component nature amid total distrust and intense fighting. The main phase of the humanitarian mission began October 30 after demining. A convoy delivered aid, and 25 buses prepared for 750 people. Evacuees traveled via Russia's Anapa and Belarus before returning to Ukraine by bus. Ukraine's ombudsman reported no shelling during the 87-hour truce extended across the Kherson region. President Zelensky announced the operation's completion October 31. The ceasefire in Oleshky remains in effect until 22:59 November 1.
