> Russian and Ukrainian forces began a ceasefire along the Dnipro River front in Kherson Oblast on Oct. 27, as part of a U.S.-mediated humanitarian mission to occupied Oleshky. The lull let Kherson residents move around more freely, visit homes and repair infrastructure, though landmines remained dangerous and locals feared the quiet would not last.
