## Key points

- Nearly 800 civilians left occupied Oleshky.
- Ukraine said Russia used the pause to strengthen its positions.
- The Kremlin says no further humanitarian missions are planned.

## Summary

Nearly 800 people have been evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky under a US-brokered ceasefire, raising hopes among some observers that similar humanitarian efforts could follow. The mission showed that cooperation between Ukrainian and Russian officials can enable civilians to leave, but it offers little evidence of wider progress towards peace.

Ukraine said Russian forces used the pause to reinforce positions, rotate troops and bring in equipment and supplies; drone footage appeared to show military transport in the area. Kyiv’s human rights commissioner said further humanitarian work was being explored with his Russian counterpart, but the Kremlin said no more missions were planned. More than 1,000 people remain in Oleshky, where residents received food, water and medicine; analysts also said the ceasefire served the political interests of both Moscow and Washington.
