Kremlin confirms ceasefire in Oleshky for humanitarian mission

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has confirmed that Russia has agreed to halt fire so that a humanitarian mission can take place in Oleshky, a town in Ukraine's Kherson region that is currently under temporary Russian occupation.

The confirmation was reported by the outlet Ukrainska Pravda. The report does not say when the ceasefire will begin, how long it will last or which organisations will take part in the mission. Those details have not been made public, so they cannot be provided here.

Peskov's statement is an official confirmation from the Russian side that it consented to a local ceasefire in this settlement.
