Oleshky Evacuation Begins Under Rare Russia-Ukraine Truce

Starving residents of Oleshky, a Russian-held town in southern Ukraine, began evacuating on Friday. The operation is part of a joint relief mission by the two warring sides — the first of its kind in four years and eight months of war. A local ceasefire, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, allowed an aid convoy to reach the town. Residents were then given the chance to leave. The cooperation marks a striking exception to the conflict. The Kremlin called it a special case.
