## Key points

- Kherson had five days of relative calm during the Oleshky evacuation ceasefire.
- Ukrainian units say Russia used the pause to reinforce and resupply.
- Reports cite 1,000 additional soldiers, but no imminent major offensive is expected.

## Summary

A five-day ceasefire in Kherson Oblast, from 27 October to 1 November, was intended to allow civilians to leave Russian-occupied Oleshky and gave residents of Kherson a brief respite from attacks. Ukrainian military units say Russian forces used the pause to move troops and supplies, reinforce positions and expand anti-drone defences, raising concerns about future operations.

Ukraine’s General Staff and marine units reported Russian movements, while the human rights ombudsman said neither side had reported ceasefire violations. Reports cited a further 1,000 Russian soldiers brought into the area and positions advanced 20 kilometres towards the line of contact. Military personnel and an analyst quoted in the article doubted a large-scale offensive across the Dnipro River was imminent; Russian remote mining also remains a danger to civilians.
