Starving residents of a Russian-held town in southern Ukraine began evacuating Friday as part of a joint relief effort by opposing sides, the first operation of its kind in more than four years of war.

After years of Russian occupation, Oleshky’s civilians have a rare opportunity to receive humanitarian aid or leave town. Serious doubts remain over whether evacuees will be able to reach Ukrainian-controlled territory.
An evacuation operation is underway in a Russian-occupied Ukrainian city during a localized truce brokered by first lady Melania Trump, with Pope Leo XIV also involved.
A humanitarian mission led by Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova has reached Oleshky in the occupied Kherson region. Russian and Ukrainian representatives said civilian evacuations began on October 30 and aid was being distributed. Journalists entered with the delegations as the sides paused fire for several days.
An aid convoy carrying food and medical supplies has entered Russian-held Oleshky in Ukraine’s Kherson region. Evacuations are under way during a six-day US-brokered local ceasefire, now in its third day, with 25 buses standing by.
Ukraine’s prime minister said on Friday that authorities were still determining how many residents plan to evacuate from the Russian-occupied southern town of Oleshky to Ukrainian-held territory.
Evacuations are under way from Russian-occupied Oleshky after a ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump took effect in the Kherson frontline region on Tuesday, allowing the road to be cleared of mines. A convoy of 25 buses can carry up to 750 people during a four-hour window. Several hundred residents are understood to be staying despite shortages of gas, electricity and running water.
Officials from Russia and Ukraine say evacuations and humanitarian aid distribution have started in occupied Oleshky, in the Kherson region. Ukraine says 527 residents want to relocate to Ukraine; Russia has not provided a figure for those seeking to relocate to Russia. The countries halted hostilities for the humanitarian mission under a truce that began on October 27 and is due to last until late on November 1.
Officials from Russia and Ukraine entered the devastated city of Oleshky after a rare ceasefire.
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki, in the Kherson Region, was going more or less as planned. Russian forces established a ceasefire on the Kherson front on October 27 to enable the operation. Russia and Ukraine had earlier agreed to a ceasefire in Alyoshki for aid delivery and civilian evacuation through a designated safe corridor, with assistance from US First Lady Melania Trump.
Ukraine's human rights ombudsman said buses and ambulances were ready to evacuate residents from Russian-occupied Oleshky during a ceasefire. An evacuation volunteer accused Russia of starting the process early, and TASS footage appeared to show civilians being moved before the agreed Oct. 30 departure date.
Evacuation of stranded residents from Oleshky began Friday under a US-brokered ceasefire, officials from Russia and Ukraine said. Ukraine said 527 people would be taken to areas under Kyiv’s control, while Russia said an unspecified number would go to Russia. Humanitarian aid distribution also began.
The first humanitarian operation in years in Russian-occupied Oleshky offers civilians trapped by war a fragile glimmer of hope. It also raises serious concerns about Moscow’s intentions and the fate of people seeking evacuation to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova have traveled to occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region with humanitarian aid and plan to arrange the evacuation of residents who wish to leave. Russia and Ukraine agreed to pause fighting there from October 27 through November 1; Melania Trump reportedly helped broker the deal.

The attacker used an Ethereum upgrade introduced in 2025 to make ordinary wallets smarter, along with 50 signatures from Binance’s own wallet.
Binance says $6.3 billion was stolen in a hack that may be the largest cryptocurrency theft ever. A U.S.-based blockchain intelligence firm says a North Korean unit was likely behind the attack, which affected more than $6 billion on the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange.
A security breach involving as much as $6.3 billion at Binance marks the largest recorded crypto hack. As the industry courts traditional finance, the incident has renewed questions about its ability to protect digital assets.
Binance said investigators found further breach points in the roughly $6 billion hack. The exchange had initially suspected an employee’s laptop was compromised but has not said what the newly identified points were.
Bitcoin traded near $77,350 after a $6.3 billion hack at Binance, while crypto futures liquidations rose to $1.57 billion.
A security breach at the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, led to $6.3bn being stolen. It is the latest in a wave of digital thefts.
Binance said a security incident could have cost it $6.3 billion and suspended deposits and withdrawals while it conducted checks.

Binance said it would cover all losses and expected withdrawals to resume within 48 hours.
Binance says a hack affected digital assets worth $6.3bn, with about half frozen. The exchange pledged to cover all losses and said withdrawals would resume after 45 hours.

Billions of dollars in crypto assets have been frozen after a potential security breach at Binance, raising doubts about whether the funds can be recovered.
Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, was hit by a hack worth $6.3bn (£4.7bn). The company says half the assets have been frozen, while many remain with the hackers. Two analytics firms blamed a North Korean hacking unit, but no one has claimed responsibility. Binance did not directly address possible links to North Korea.
A TRM Labs investigation published on Oct. 29 says the attacker prepared for at least 36 hours before carrying out coordinated transfers across 10 blockchains. The hack of the crypto exchange, estimated at $6.36 billion, began with $296 million in XRP being drained.
Binance management put the estimated impact of the security breach at about $6.3 billion and said roughly $3 billion in affected assets had been frozen on-chain with partners. Its initial investigation suggests an attacker may have used a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop to submit unauthorized withdrawals.
Binance says $6.3bn in digital assets were affected by what it calls the largest hack in history, and that about half have been frozen with help from other platforms. The exchange says it will cover all losses.
