Russia and Ukraine evacuated residents of Russian-held Oleshky during a rare local ceasefire. A joint aid mission brought food and medicine. Hundreds left for Russia's Anapa, and hundreds stayed. The UN said each day the truce holds brings hope.

Why it matters

Starving civilians cut off for months got food and a way out.

Background

Oleshky sits on the Dnipro river's Russian-held bank, opposite Kherson. Strikes on the area had blocked supplies for months.
