The bilateral ceasefire comes into effect in occupied Olsheki. The local ceasefire is necessary to clear mined roads, deliver food and medicine to the besieged city, and prepare for the evacuation of civilians to territory controlled by Ukraine. The process is supervised by the human rights commissions of both countries. Dmytro Lubintz (Ukraine) and Yana Lantertova (Russia). Both sides are currently reporting that peace is being maintained. The city has been under Russian occupation since February 2022. After Russia blew up the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, Olshki was completely flooded, and up to 300 residents died. In the past year, the city has been almost completely isolated, without stable power and facing critical shortages of food and medicine. Volunteers say about 2,000 civilians remain trapped there.
