Four planes carrying Ukrainian citizens evacuated from the Russian-occupied town of Olshki landed in Gomel, Belarus, on Saturday, October 31, ahead of their final transfer by bus across the border to Ukraine. The multi-stage evacuation was coordinated by Ukrainian human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubintz and her Russian counterpart Yana Lantertova as part of an 87-hour local ceasefire brokered by US first lady Melania Trump.
