O que aconteceu
Pina Picierno announced on 20 October that she was starting a hunger strike to draw international attention to Oleshky, in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast. She called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, access to food and medicines and safe evacuation of civilians, and asked civil society, citizens and institutions to join the nonviolent action. She said that thousands of people lacked adequate access to food and medicines, while mines made safe escape impossible. Ukrainian military drones have also delivered food, medicines and children’s kits to the population.
Como o descrevem as fontes ucranianas
Ukrainian sources describe Oleshky as a temporarily occupied community cut off from food and medicine by Russian forces. They highlight allegations by Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Russia blocks aid, obstructs evacuations and attacks civilians, while Ukrainian authorities deliver assistance by drone and raise the issue at the UN and in contacts with the Pope.
Contexto
Oleshky is in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast on the left bank of the Dnipro. Before the full-scale invasion, it had approximately 24,000 residents; according to estimates in the material, about 2,000 people remain, including 50 children. Ukrainian drones have delivered food, medicines and children’s kits, including almost 400 packages weighing four tons in one delivery. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said on 20 September that Russia was blocking food and medicine deliveries and obstructing humanitarian missions and evacuations. Ukraine and Russia were reportedly finalising details for evacuating civilians from the occupied Oleshky community on 19 October.
