Russia and Ukraine have completed demining work for a humanitarian mission to Oleshky.
TTRT WorldOriginal★★★☆☆2026-10-29 19:57
US First Lady Melania Trump said she hopes a humanitarian mission to Alyoshki will ease suffering and open a new chapter of lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine. Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces had halted fire on the Kherson front and established a “regime of silence” for the operation. The two countries had agreed to a ceasefire to enable aid delivery and civilian evacuation through a safe corridor.
Dozens of tons of food, medicine, sanitary supplies and fuel are due to reach civilians in Alyoshki. Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova said preparations began in May, while Melania Trump said four Newsmax journalists would observe the mission alongside Russian and Ukrainian humanitarian leaders.
Dmitry Peskov said Russian reporting on the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki is crucial, while the presence of Newsmax journalists does not matter to Russia. Moscow began a “silence regime” in the Kherson direction on October 27 to prepare for the operation. Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire in the area, mediated by Melania Trump, to facilitate aid deliveries and civilian evacuation preparations.
Dmitry Peskov said residents being evacuated from Alyoshki in the Kherson Region should be able to receive aid safely and leave if they wish by today or tomorrow. He called Europe’s pledge to stop buying Russian resources short-sighted and said Ukrainian attacks on Moscow during the Russia-Africa summit reinforced the need to continue the special military operation.
Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova said humanitarian supplies had reached Oleshky in the Kherson region, including food, fuel, medicine and hygiene products. She said residents would be able to leave the combat zone for any destination. Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt hostilities there for a humanitarian mission; the truce began October 27 and is set to last through late November 1.
Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova says Russia and Ukraine have observed a ceasefire around Alyoshki in the Kherson Region for 54 hours. Russia’s Dnepr battlegroup is clearing mines and explosives from roads to prepare a safe route for a humanitarian convoy and civilian evacuations.
Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova said the ceasefire declared for a humanitarian mission in Alyoshki, in the Kherson Region, was being fully observed, with no incidents reported. She said Russian personnel were conducting necessary engineering work, including clearing mines from a road.
Melania Trump confirmed that four Newsmax journalists will be in Alyoshki, in the Kherson Region, as observers for a humanitarian mission. She said they would independently document it. Russia and Ukraine had agreed to halt hostilities in the town from October 29 to allow aid deliveries and civilian evacuation through a safe corridor.

Svetlana, a resident of Alyoshki in the Kherson Region, said none of the people she knew wanted to leave for Ukraine, adding that Ukrainian authorities could say whatever they wanted. Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire in Alyoshki to enable humanitarian aid deliveries and prepare civilian evacuations through a designated safe corridor.
A Ukrainian official said a humanitarian aid mission is due to enter Oleshky on Thursday. A localized truce between Kyiv and Moscow, brokered by US first lady Melania Trump, has held for a third day. Around 2,000 residents in the Russian-occupied town are cut off from essential supplies, with reports that many are starving.
Russia and Ukraine have stopped fighting around occupied Oleshky since October 27, with the ceasefire lasting more than two days. The countries’ human rights commissioners are heading there to deliver aid and help ensure safe evacuations.
