> Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik said a humanitarian channel linking Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova and US First Lady Melania Trump’s team could circulate truthful information about Alyoshki and counter Western-platform narratives blaming Russia. He called for the blockade to be lifted, people wishing to leave to be allowed out, and aid to reach residents.
