🇺🇦 A humanitarian operation has helped rescue people from Oleshky in the Kherson region. During a temporary ceasefire, roads to Oleshky were cleared of mines, humanitarian aid was delivered, and civilians in need of evacuation were brought out of the city and surrounding community. The evacuated Ukrainians have now crossed the Ukrainian border in the Chernihiv region and will receive the assistance they need. The operation was made possible with the US mediation, including First Lady Melania Trump. Ukraine’s Defence Forces ensured the security conditions for the mission, while Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and his team carried it out. The efforts of everyone who helped draw international attention to the humanitarian crisis in Oleshky also played an important role. We hope humanitarian access to Oleshky will remain open so that more people can receive help. Video: Presidential Office of Ukraine
