U.S. brokered ceasefire in Russian-occupied Ukrainian city starts Oct 27. The truce, agreed by Ukraine and Russia, will allow aid delivery and evacuations in Oleshky, a city with 6,000 residents facing a humanitarian crisis.
U.S. First Lady Melania Trump secured the ceasefire, which will begin on Oct 27. The deal involves stopping military fire and allowing civilians to evacuate. Both sides confirmed the agreement, with Russia halting attacks ahead of the truce.
The ceasefire comes as U.S., Ukrainian and Russian negotiators prepare for talks in Abu Dhabi. The deal addresses a critical situation in Oleshky, where residents face shortages of food, medicine and clean water.
Russia confirmed the agreement, stating that those who wish to leave the settlement can do so. Ukraine's Foreign Minister said the city is under a full blockade by Russian forces.
