«Невдовзі будемо вдома!»: Лубінець оприлюднив відео евакуації жителів окупованих Олешків
What happened
Residents of occupied Oleshky who wanted to leave have crossed into Ukraine after an evacuation led by human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, Ukrainian outlets reported.
The oldest evacuee is 94 and the youngest is just over a year old, Lubinets said, adding that pets, including dogs, cats, a parrot and even a raccoon, were taken out too.
On 30 October, a Ukrainian delegation arrived in Oleshky in the Kherson region, where a ceasefire had been in force since the night of 27 October.
Lubinets said 25 buses with 750 seats and ambulances for people with limited mobility were prepared for the evacuation.
Evacuees reportedly travelled through Crimea and Anapa, then flew to Gomel in Belarus, and from there crossed into Ukraine through the Chernihiv region.
According to Lubinets, the ceasefire will last until 22:59 on Sunday, 1 November, making it the longest one observed by both sides since 2022.
“It is extremely important to me that the humanitarian mission in Oleshky does not remain an isolated case.”
