Residents leave Russian-occupied Oleshky in evacuation operation

The evacuation operation involves residents leaving the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky. They are traveling to Russia's Anapa city accompanied by a Ukrainian delegation, according to senior official David Arakhamia.

The evacuation is taking place during a rare ceasefire brokered by the United States, providing a temporary window for the safe passage of civilians from the conflict zone.

Following their arrival in Anapa, the evacuees are expected to fly to Belarus before returning to Ukraine by bus, completing their journey back to Ukrainian territory.
