The humanitarian mission in Olshki is taking place against the backdrop of Ukrainian concerns that the ceasefire could be used by Russia for military and informational purposes, Le Monde writes. By November 1, approximately 1.7-2 thousand residents of the city should receive assistance, including many elderly people, people with disabilities and approximately 50 children. Some residents are also planning to evacuate. A rare local truce brokered by Melania Trump is still holding and allowing food and medicine to be delivered to the city. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities fear that Russia may use the humanitarian operation for a propaganda campaign, among other things through interviews with local residents with accusations against the armed forces of Ukraine. Russian propaganda expert Pyotr Pomerantsev also warns that people under intense pressure can be used for informational purposes. The deputy head of the Kherson region, Alexander Tolukonikov, told "Le Monde" that after the end of the ceasefire, Ukraine expects increased Russian attacks on Kherson. According to his version, Moscow can use the break to replenish supplies and strengthen units. About a thousand residents of Olshki, according to volunteers, want to leave the city. At the same time, there remain concerns that Russia may not allow some of the evacuees to go to the territory controlled by Ukraine. The end of the ceasefire and the humanitarian operation is planned for the evening of November 1.
