Zelensky confirmed that Russia brought additional forces into Oleshky during the truce

Russia brought additional forces into occupied Oleshky under the cover of a humanitarian operation that took place from 27 October to 1 November. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this on 8 November.

- There was a report on Kherson and the overall situation in the Kherson region. Unfortunately, under the cover of a humanitarian operation in Oleshky, the Russian army carried out a significant rotation of personnel and equipment on the left bank. Additional occupier forces were brought into Oleshky and the surrounding community, he wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Armed Forces command must present proposals for additional protection of life in Kherson from Russian terror, the head of state added.

2 November, the day after the temporary truce in Oleshky ended, British broadcaster Sky News reported, citing Ukrainian military, that Russian occupiers used the ceasefire regime to bring in people and heavy equipment.

Later that same day, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubynets refuted the claim that Russian equipment was moved during the truce in Oleshky. According to him, the recorded Russian military equipment bearing red crosses was used for demining. Lubynets noted that a ban on moving military equipment was a condition of the truce.
