What happened

US First Lady Melania Trump said nearly 800 people were evacuated from Oleshky during the humanitarian ceasefire, which ran from October 27 to November 1.

She did not say how many went to Ukrainian-held territory and how many to Russia, according to LB.ua.

Trump thanked Ukraine and Russia for their cooperation and said she hopes Oleshky will lay the groundwork for lasting peace.

Ukraine's General Staff said on the morning of November 2 that Russia used the pause to reinforce positions and bring in ammunition.

Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said the oldest evacuee is 94 and the youngest just over a year old; pets were also taken out.

Those heading to Ukrainian-held land were taken first into Russian-controlled territory, then through Belarus, accompanied by Lubinets and other Ukrainian officials.

“The mission was a success: vital aid was delivered to the region and nearly 800 people were evacuated.”
