A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Oleshky, which is occupied by Russia. At the same time, the Russians are deliberately hiding data and refusing to evacuate civilians from the city.
The Gauleiter of Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, refused to name the number of residents who remain in the occupied Oleshky. This was reported by the Kherson publication "Most."
What does the occupying authority say?
The head of the temporary occupation administration of Kherson region told propagandist media that providing exact data about residents would be "biased information." The Russian authorities also confirmed they have no plans to remove them.
"To say exactly how many civilians are there now would probably be biased. By our estimates, a large number of residents remain there,"
the Gauleiter said.
Saldo did not give even an approximate number of people currently in the city.
According to the legitimate Ukrainian authorities, about 6 thousand people remain in the Oleshky community, including 180 children. However, the real number of residents may be significantly higher due to limited access to information from the temporarily occupied territories.
In addition, Russian troops are blocking supplies of basic necessities and are leaving about 2 thousand people without food and water, nearly fifty of whom are children.
It is noted that the Ukrainian military, in cooperation with the Kherson Regional Military Administration, established an air bridge to supply provisions to the blockaded residents of occupied Oleshky. Defenders are using drones to deliver food in order to save people from starvation.
The head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration said that Marine Corps and National Guard units delivered about 4 tons of food to 100 designated sites. This operation was one of the largest since March.
