Oleshky under Russian occupation faces humanitarian catastrophe: no food, power, medicine, exits mined

Residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky, Kherson region, are trapped without electricity, food, or medicine after the city was cut off in fall 2026; all exits are mined and blocked by Russian troops. The situation follows the 2023 Kakhovka dam destruction that already devastated infrastructure. Reports from Meduza, based on contacts with residents, indicate a severe humanitarian crisis, though independent verification is limited due to occupation.
