Ukrainian General Staff: Russian forces used humanitarian pause in Oleshky to fortify positions
Published
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the Russian side used a humanitarian pause to fortify its positions. This pause was part of a humanitarian mission in occupied Oleshky, in Kherson Oblast.
Humanitarian missions in such places are usually needed to deliver aid to residents who have remained in the city. However, according to the military, during this pause Russian units were fortifying their positions. The Ukrainian side did not specify what exactly work was being carried out or how long the pause lasted.
Oleshky has been under Russian control since the start of the full-scale invasion. The city's residents have long needed humanitarian assistance, so such missions are important for the people who live there. Therefore, the question of how humanitarian pauses are used is of great importance for the civilian population and for all sides of the conflict.
The General Staff did not provide new details about this situation. The information is based on a statement by Ukrainian military, and independent confirmation of the reported account is absent. Further developments and the reaction of other parties are not yet known.
