Starvation in Occupied Ukraine: Residents Forced to Eat Roadside Grass

A Ukrainian town under Russian occupation has been cut off from aid for months. Residents are now eating grass to survive. Oleshky, a town in Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast, marked its 942nd anniversary this week under Russian blockade. Aid convoys attempting to reach the town have been shelled, leaving its people without food supplies. “There is real hunger there,” a source said, describing the dire conditions facing residents. The town has been isolated for months, with no safe route for humanitarian assistance to enter.
