This is the moment their families have been waiting for.
Residents of Oleshky returning by bus
into Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Thank you.
After a long journey,
residents of Oleshky have arrived in Ukrainian-controlled territory
by these buses that you see here behind me. The exact number
Ukraine is not being disclosed.
That's because of an agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
But for the family members here,
this was an extremely emotional moment.
Many of them haven't seen their loved ones for several years.
Many of them also are elderly or immobile, which is why you see
these ambulances, many of them transported through those.
Now, we were speaking with Ukraine's ombudsman.
who said that he hoped that this could lay
the framework for future missions.
But of course,
this ceasefire itself set to end in just a matter of days.
And the big question is what will happen thereafter,
especially in towns like Oleshky
and especially for those who decided to stay.
