Civilians trapped in occupied Oleshky get a chance to leave, but the route to Ukraine reportedly runs through Russia
Civilians in Russian-occupied Oleshky, Ukraine, who lack food, electricity and medicine, finally have a chance to leave the town. According to reports, even those who want to reach Ukraine will first be taken to Russia.
Civilians trapped in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky, left without food, electricity and medicine, now have a chance to try to leave, according to the independent outlet Meduza.
However, people who want to reach Ukrainian-controlled territory will reportedly be taken to Russia first. This means the exit is not direct, and the journey to Ukraine depends on routes set by the occupying side.
The text of the source available to us contains no details about how the evacuation will work, how many people are affected or what the deadlines are, so those circumstances remain unclear. What is evident is that the situation for civilians in Oleshky is severe, as basic services and essential supplies are lacking.
