Limited ceasefire for starving Ukrainian town of Oleshky: residents told buses will start taking them out Tuesday morning
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a very limited ceasefire for Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town on the Dnipro River where about 2,000 remaining residents have been trapped by minefields and drones, and Russia says it will open a humanitarian corridor, NPR reported Monday. A resident told her daughter that people were informed they would be loaded onto buses starting Tuesday morning and taken to a closed children's camp. Pope Leo had urged Vladimir Putin to open a corridor, and first lady Melania Trump also joined the effort, NPR reported.
