Russia blocks all aid to occupied Oleshky; 2,000 civilians face starvation

Russia is actively preventing humanitarian aid from reaching Oleshky, a town in occupied Kherson Oblast, by shooting down food deliveries and confiscating supplies, while blocking evacuation of ~2,000 residents. The Council of Europe warns of a high risk of death due to lack of food, medicine, water, and electricity. This marks a deliberate escalation in the use of starvation as a tactic in occupied territories, with severe humanitarian consequences.

Ukrainian authorities have partially confirmed drone-based food deliveries, but their effectiveness and sustainability are uncertain. The situation is critical, with reports of residents resorting to eating dogs and weeds.
