Evacuees from Oleshky arrived in Ukraine via Belarus: Zelensky revealed details of the operation
A humanitarian operation to rescue people in Oleshky in the Kherson region took place. A ceasefire was established on the Kherson front, and during that time roads in Oleshky were cleared of mines and humanitarian cargoes were delivered. We expect that humanitarian access to Oleshky will remain. And the people who needed evacuation were taken out of the town and the surrounding community. As of now, Ukrainian citizens from Oleshky have crossed into Ukraine in the Chernihiv region. All of them will be provided with necessary assistance. It is important that government bodies and all involved regional and local authorities work effectively and help our people adapt.
I thank the American side and America’s First Lady Melania Trump for mediating. I am proud of our Armed Forces of Ukraine, who defend our state and honorably guaranteed security conditions for the humanitarian operation. I thank Ukraine’s ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and his team for carrying out the mission. And I thank everyone in the world — all journalists, all political and public leaders, all caring people who drew global attention to the situation in Oleshky and the real humanitarian catastrophe in the territory of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia. When the world’s attention is focused, people are saved. Further de-escalation steps and genuine moves toward peace are needed. Glory to Ukraine!
