Russian forces block Oleshky, Ukraine; hunger imminent for thousands

The humanitarian crisis in Russian-occupied Oleshky, Ukraine, has significantly worsened, with residents reportedly facing severe food shortages, resorting to eating weeds, grass, and potentially dogs. Russian forces have maintained a blockade since spring, preventing aid deliveries and trapping thousands, leading to claims of imminent famine and civilian deaths. The Kremlin acknowledges shortages but attributes aid blockage to Kyiv, a claim contradicted by Russian control of the area.
