Kherson Lives Without Shelling: How the Oleshky Truce Works
Published
Kherson has been in a state of silence for more than a day. There are no drones and no shelling in the city, and both residents and journalists have noticed.
People are gradually returning to the city. The period of quiet is linked to the Oleshky truce, that is, to an agreement on a ceasefire in this area.
BBC News Ukraine reports on how residents are living under these conditions. One resident put his feelings this way: "It seems the war has ended." Such words show how important even a brief pause in the shelling is for people.
A truce is an agreement between sides to a conflict on the temporary cessation of combat operations. Such agreements can last different lengths of time, and their duration is not always known in advance.
For now, the situation in Kherson remains quiet. Further developments will depend on whether the truce is observed, and this matters for those who are returning to their homes.
