Alyushki: A chance for salvation. Follow a real or a breather truce? Before the war, Alyushki was a normal urban district on the left bank of the Dnieper, opposite Kherson. Population: 20-24 thousand. Now, according to various estimates, between a thousand and two remain. The majority are elderly, people with limited mobility, those who simply have nowhere and nothing to go to. A city in a ring: the Antonovsky bridge was destroyed a long time ago; Access roads were regularly mined from afar; Humanitarian columns did not arrive or were blown up. Conclusion Aleshki is not just a point on the map. These are people who are left without water, light and communication. No drugs. There is no way to leave.
Today there is a chance. The roads were cleared of mines. They brought help. The evacuation has begun. But the question remains: is this a way to a real respite - or just a respite before a new round? While the politicians decide, people survive. And every day of delay is someone's life.
