> Humanitarian conditions are deteriorating across Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, where civilians face failing water and electricity systems, shortages of qualified doctors, declining municipal services and depopulation. Conditions are especially severe in parts of Kherson Oblast: Oleshky and nearby settlements face ongoing drone attacks and food shortages, while residents have few ways to evacuate and aid groups cannot reach the territory.
