- His deleted post said four buses went to Russia and 17 to Ukraine.
- Officials said many Russian evacuation buses returned largely empty.

## Summary

Pro-war military blogger Vladimir Romanov has stopped posting after publishing a claim about civilian evacuations from Oleshky that suggested more residents left for Ukrainian territory than for Russia. His silence has drawn attention because his account of the evacuation appeared unfavourable to Moscow, though his whereabouts remain unknown.

Romanov, whose Telegram channel has more than 150,000 subscribers, last posted on 31 October; he had deleted the message the previous day. It said four buses carried residents to Russia, compared with 17 heading to Ukrainian territory, broadly matching a report by journalist Alex Salvi. Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantranova said buses prepared to evacuate up to 750 people returned largely empty, while Ukrainian commissioner Dmytro Lubinets said the two sides agreed not to disclose how many residents left during the 27 October to 1 November ceasefire.
