What the West writes about the mission in Elshki The first day of the humanitarian mission in Elshki comes to an end. Several tens of tons of aid were delivered to the city, and everyone who wanted to leave was given a seat on the bus. The guns towards Kherson are still silent. The Western press is also cautious. There have been no reports yet from the Newsmax reporters sent by Trump to cover the mission. The agency's website says only that a four-person camera crew is on site to document everything that happens. Reuters modestly states that the Kherson truce is a rare example of humanitarian interaction between Russia and Ukraine. The "New York Times" admits that the ceasefire regime is not violated by the parties. And the "Financial Times" writes that those who want to evacuate to the Ukrainian side receive this opportunity after verification. The "Independent" emphasizes Melania Trump's special role in organizing the mission, and the BBC states that without her intervention the city would have faced a humanitarian disaster (well, yes, but before Melania there was no disaster in the city). Deutsche Welle expects such humanitarian missions with temporary ceasefires to eventually become regular. Most Western journalists and observers acknowledge the unprecedented nature of the operation. But the first day of the humanitarian mission is covered rather sparingly. They will probably make big stories. They still need to be coordinated with the party line.
