- Aid deliveries to Oleshky may start on Thursday.
- Evacuations are planned for Friday.

## Summary

A ceasefire intended to allow food and medicine into Russian-occupied Oleshky has been extended across Ukraine’s wider Kherson region, officials say. The truce is meant to create safe passage for aid convoys and residents hoping to leave, offering relief to people trapped by dangerous routes and severe shortages.

An estimated 1,700 to 2,000 people remain in Oleshky, with several thousand more in nearby areas; residents have lacked electricity, gas and water since the Kakhovka Dam was destroyed in 2023. Aid deliveries may begin on Thursday, followed by planned evacuations on Friday, while the ceasefire is expected to continue until 22:59 on Sunday 1 November. Both sides say it is being observed, and Ukraine’s Andrii Sybiha said successful implementation could support further steps in the peace process.
