In brief
Yana Lantratova said both sides met their obligations during a humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky, enabling aid delivery and voluntary evacuations. The “silence regime” ran from Tuesday to Sunday, and the town—under Russian control since February 2022—remains in need of further humanitarian assistance.
Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova reported that both Russia and Ukraine observed their obligations during a humanitarian ceasefire in the frontline city of Oleshky, according to a Sunday statement on Russian social media MAX.
Lantratova said the 2026 “silence regime” had been in effect from Tuesday to Sunday, which allowed humanitarian aid to reach the town and permitted residents who wished to leave to do so safely and voluntarily.
She emphasized that the residents who still remain in Oleshky need help, and that work on humanitarian missions must continue.
Oleshky is located on the left bank of the Dnieper River, opposite the Ukrainian‑controlled city of Kherson, and has been under Russian control since February 2022.
“All obligations were observed by both sides. This made it possible to deliver aid to the residents and ensure a safe, voluntary departure for those who decided to leave the city,”
The commissioner’s statement highlights the cooperation between the parties in delivering aid and evacuating civilians. It also stresses that the humanitarian needs of the remaining population are ongoing and require sustained efforts.
