Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a ceasefire in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, where thousands of civilians face severe shortages of food, water and electricity. Some people are reportedly surviving on weeds.
The White House announced the agreement on Friday. Both sides will halt all military operations in the city starting 27 October.
The pause will allow humanitarian aid deliveries and preparations to evacuate civilians.
