Truce begins in Ukraine city where residents ate weeds to survive
A limited ceasefire has begun in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, where up to six thousand people, including two hundred children, have lived without food, water or power and cooked garden weeds to survive.
A limited ceasefire has begun in Oleshky, a city in Ukraine's Kherson region under Russian occupation, offering a fragile pause in fighting for civilians who have endured months without basic supplies.
Up to six thousand people remain in the city, including around two hundred children, and many have been living without food, water or power, cooking garden weeds to survive.
The truce is meant to let humanitarian aid into Oleshky and allow civilians to leave on Friday, but escape routes are reported to be mined, and many residents fear the ceasefire will not hold.
For Oleshky, the pause brings hope, but survival still hangs by a thread while residents wait to see whether the fighting truly stops.
