A U.S.-brokered truce aimed at allowing humanitarian aid into the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky began early Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Both Russia and Ukraine stated they would observe the ceasefire, which commenced at 3:00 a.m. local time. Residents in Oleshky, located in the southern Kherson region, have reportedly faced severe shortages of food, water, and medicine since Russian forces seized the city in 2022. The truce was announced by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump.
