Oleshky: Evacuations during first humanitarian truce of war end

More on that now with our correspondent, Emmanuel Chaz, who's standing by for us. Emmanuel, has it been a successful evacuation operation then under this truce? And are we likely to see other missions like this in the future? Indeed, it was successful for those of the residents of Oleshky who managed to get out of this occupied city, occupied since 2022, and who managed to come back under Ukrainian-controlled, Ukrainian territory. I've been able to talk yesterday with people who are, you know, sharing their stories, what they have witnessed and lived during those past four years under occupation. Indeed, there were stories of people having to eat, being reduced to eating weeds. from their garden, eating dogs, surviving only on a few vegetables they could still grow in their garden. People telling me that since the roads had been cut off and mined by Russia, by the Russian occupation forces back in May, they were unable to get out of the city at all. There was a shortage of food, but also of medicine. So indeed, it is successful that those who wanted to get out managed to do so and for the dozens of families, Ukrainian families who could be reunited on Ukrainian controlled soil yesterday and of course the Ukrainian government is you now expressing its interest of having other similar operations being brokered between Ukraine and aggressor country much. The humanitarian mission was able to take place thanks to, you know, the initiative of the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, and Dmytro Lubinets, the Ombudsman of Human Rights here in Ukraine, thanked the U.S. First Lady and said that, of course, Ukraine hopes to be able in the future to have other similar operations for other populations along the frontline Emmanuel, thank you so much for that.
