EU Condemns Russian Siege of Olechky, 6,000 Civilians Denied Aid

EU Commissioner Hadja Lahbib denounces the 'horrifying' situation in Olechky, where Russian forces have isolated approximately 6,000 civilians, denying them food, medicine, water, and care. The claim is based on EU official statements, with no independent verification. This marks a continued pattern of siege warfare in occupied Ukrainian territories, but the explicit EU condemnation raises diplomatic pressure.
