Papa Leão XIV welcomeia conclusão da missão humanitária em Oleshky

Porque é importante

A operação permitiu entregar ajuda e retirar civis de uma cidade temporariamente ocupada, demonstrating that a limited local arrangement can restore civilian movement and access to essential supplies during the war. A participação da mediação americana e de delegações de vários países também a tornou um exemplo de cooperação em condições de guerra. Papa Leão XIV e Melania Trump failed to present its conclusion as a possible starting point for broader peace efforts.

O que aconteceu

The arrangements were officially confirmed on 23 October after the Ukrainian side was represented by the Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets and the Russian side by Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova. The humanitarian ceasefire began in Oleshky and neighbouring areas at 03:00 Kyiv time on 27 October, with the zone later expanded beyond the city to allow safe passage of humanitarian convoys. It was due to remain in force until 22:59 on 1 November and did not cover the entire front line.

The Ukrainian delegation departed on 29 October and arrived with humanitarian assistance on the morning of 30 October, after the routes had been cleared of mines. Russian and Belarusian representatives also arrived. During the operation, residents of Oleshky and nearby areas could move freely and obtain food, clean water and medicines. For the evacuation, 25 buses with 750 places were prepared, including vehicles for people with limited mobility.

On 31 October, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the operation and evacuation had been completed. The Ukrainian delegation and evacuated residents returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory, crossing the border in Chernihiv region. Some residents were evacuated to Russia, while others remained in Oleshky and were to receive humanitarian support.

Onde as versões divergem

As Available accounts differ on the geographical scope of the ceasefire: one describes it as limited to the Olekshy humanitarian operation, while another says it was extended across Kherson Oblast for 87 hours. The supplied material does not reconcile these descriptions. A Ukrainian military spokesperson also said Russian forces used the ceasefire for logistics, evacuating casualties, rotating troops and fortifying positions, while reporting several drone deliveries of munitions to Ukrainian positions despite the ceasefire.
