إجلاء غير مكتمل من أوليشكي: السكان المتبقون بلا مساعدات إنسانية

لماذا يهمّ ذلك

The evacuation was incomplete, leaving vulnerable residents, including people with limited mobility, in the occupied community. Many residents did not receive the humanitarian supplies delivered during the mission, and some said the quantities they received would not last even a week. Local authorities also said they could not independently verify conditions in Oleshky.

ماذا حدث

A temporary ceasefire in Oleshky and nearby territories was in effect from 03:00 on 27 October until 22:59 Kyiv time on 1 November. Within two days, the routes were cleared and a humanitarian convoy was formed. The main evacuation phase began on 30 October, when humanitarian supplies were delivered to Oleshky. The plan included 25 buses with 750 seats in total and ambulances for people with limited mobility.

On the morning of 31 October, four aircraft carrying Oleshky residents arrived at Gomel airport in Belarus. The evacuees were transferred to buses heading for the Ukrainian border. After 15:00 that day, President Volodymyr Zelensky said they had crossed into Chernihiv region. The Ukrainian delegation conducting the mission also returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory on 31 October.

The operation nevertheless left some residents behind. Some did not know about the evacuation because they were in basements or shelters without communication. Others did not leave because of fear of screening. People with limited mobility were not taken to the collection point near the hospital and waited for the Russian side to transport them. Some people waiting along the road for the bus column were picked up, while several women left before it arrived, believing the buses had already gone.

Ukrainian reporting highlights the barriers to evacuation: lack of information or communication, fear of screening, limited-mobility residents failing to reach the collection point, and some residents leaving before transport arrived. Ukrainian authorities describe the operation as an evacuation and aid mission, emphasizing the ceasefire, route clearance, convoy formation, delivery of aid and return of the Ukrainian delegation. Local officials focus on continuing shortages and the inability to verify conditions inside the occupied community.

The scope of the evacuation is described differently. Melania Trump said evacuation was provided for nearly 800 people, while the sides did not announce how many people left for Russia or Ukraine under the arrangements with Russia.
