Yana Lantratova said the mission aimed to deliver humanitarian aid to people in need and enable those wishing to leave the combat zone to do so as safely as possible.
A temporary ceasefire in Ukraine’s Kherson region enabled people to leave Russian-occupied Oleshky over the weekend. They reached the Chernihiv region on Saturday via Russia and Belarus, with some reuniting with friends and family they had not seen for years.
Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova said evacuees from Alyoshki would receive needed medical care, with healthcare workers and psychologists available at temporary accommodation centers. The first group choosing to remain in Russia initially arrived in Simferopol; some later moved to Krasnodar Region, while others wanted to stay in Skadovsk.
Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova said civilians who chose to remain in Alyoshki would receive all possible assistance. Some declined evacuation for reasons including health problems; their families’ details were recorded so officials could assess needs and continue helping.
Human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova said Russian medics accompanied Alyoshki residents who chose to go to Ukraine. They traveled first by convoy to Anapa, then took a flight to Ukraine via Belarus’ Gomel Region.
Yana Lantratova, Russia’s human rights commissioner, said people who chose to leave Alyoshki for Ukraine had arrived safely. Russian doctors accompanied them, and she said she was in regular contact with her Ukrainian counterpart.
More than 50 journalists from countries including the United States and Ukraine covered the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova said. Ukrainian and Russian media were among those represented, along with reporters from other countries.
Russian and Ukrainian intelligence agencies negotiated the evacuation of civilians from Oleshky, in the Kherson region, but the mission was presented as the result of mediation, Le Monde reported. After four months of talks, the countries’ human rights commissioners organized the operation, which evacuated around 700 people. A Ukrainian source said Melania Trump’s role should be viewed with caution, as Washington’s part remains unclear.
US First Lady Melania Trump said the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki, Kherson Region, was successful and praised Russia and Ukraine for their leadership and cooperation around the ceasefire. The truce ran as planned from October 27 to November 1, 2026. She said she hoped Oleshky would help lay the groundwork for lasting peace between the two countries.

Authorities in Ukraine and Russia said cyberattacks targeted their emergency alert apps late Sunday. Ukrainians received a warning of high nuclear radiation danger in Kyiv, while Russian officials said hackers accessed the Emergency Ministry’s app and sent fake alerts.
A cyberattack on Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry app sent users false claims that nuclear warheads had been launched nationwide. The ministry confirmed the hack but said the public alert system was unaffected. Hackers also breached Ukraine’s Air Alert app, which issued radiation, chemical-danger and street-fighting warnings. Ukraine’s Air Force said it was likely hacked and there was no radiation threat; notifications were temporarily disabled.

On Sunday night, Ukrainians received a wave of messages about nuclear danger, radiation threats and street fighting, prompting alarm. The grave warnings were baseless, while Ukraine and Russia reported hacks of emergency apps.
Ukraine and Russia accused each other of hacking emergency alert systems after their official apps sent false warnings, including radiation threats in Ukraine and imminent drone attacks in Russia. Officials issued clarifications, and Ukraine said people understood the confusion in under an hour. The incidents came as a local ceasefire in Russian-occupied Kherson region ended.
Kyiv residents received fake alerts about nuclear radiation, a chemical attack and street fighting over roughly an hour late Sunday. Ukrainian authorities said the warning app may have been compromised, took it temporarily offline and urged users to stay calm and avoid links in suspicious notifications.
Ukraine’s Air Force said its air raid alert app sent erroneous warnings after allegedly being hacked by Russia. Fake alerts about nuclear and chemical threats, street combat and the deployment of Russia’s Oreshnik missile were sent around Kyiv. Russia’s Emergencies Ministry later said its own app had suffered a “massive cyberattack” that spread “false information.”
Ukraine's air force said on Sunday that the country's nationwide air raid alert app may have been hacked, warning that its threat notifications no longer matched conditions on the ground. The suspected interference occurred just minutes after a local ceasefire with Russia in eastern Kherson ended.
Ukraine officials said the official air-raid alert app was likely hacked after it sent false radiation and chemical attack warnings in Kyiv on Sunday, telling residents to stay indoors.
