Ukraine will raise at the United Nations General Assembly the situation in the occupied Oleshky, — Sibiga
During the UN General Assembly, Ukraine will raise the issue of the situation in the occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region.
This was written by Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga in X (formerly Twitter).
According to him, Russia is deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe in the occupied part of Kherson region, blocking access to food and medicines, hindering humanitarian access and civilian evacuation, while Russian FPV drones hunt people in the streets.
“The situation in Oleshky is particularly dire. From the pre-war population, about 24 000 remain of roughly 2000 people, including about 50 children. There is no electricity or gas. Food, medicines, and other essential items have been blocked for a month. Terrifying reports indicate that people are scavenging for food and picking grass to survive,” the diplomat noted.
Ukraine aims for organized evacuation, and the International Committee of the Red Cross is ready to participate, and international humanitarian organizations are ready to provide life-saving assistance.
“The only obstacle is Russia. Russia deliberately obstructs these efforts to reach people who desperately need them, turning humanitarian access itself into a lever of pressure. In New York, during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week, we will work on mobilizing international pressure to ensure humanitarian access, a humanitarian corridor, and safe evacuation of civilians. I will also discuss these efforts with ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric,” he wrote.
Sibiga noted that the international community must use its collective voice to break through Russia’s humanitarian blockade, ensure immediate and unhindered access for humanitarian organizations, and ensure the safe evacuation of civilians.
