Ukraine and Russia to introduce a ceasefire in the Oleshky area from 27 October for a humanitarian operation
The general staffs of Ukraine and Russia announced that a ceasefire will take effect in a designated area from the night of 27 October. It is meant to allow a humanitarian operation in temporarily occupied Oleshky.
The general staffs of Ukraine and Russia announced on Friday evening, 23 October, that both sides will introduce a ceasefire regime in a designated area from the night of 27 October. The purpose of the truce is to allow a humanitarian operation to take place in Oleshky, which is currently temporarily occupied.
The announcement came from the military leadership structures of the two warring countries, which in both cases are the general staffs. The decision was therefore made public by the military command on each side.
The statement says the ceasefire will apply to a specific, defined area rather than the entire front line. The source gives no information on what kind of humanitarian operation will be carried out, how long the truce will last or how it will be monitored.
These questions are not clarified in the announcement, so the scale and conditions of the operation are not yet known.
