Russian forces previously blockaded Oleshky, leading to severe humanitarian conditions and alleged starvation. A new development indicates an agreed evacuation corridor for residents, routing through Russia and Belarus to Ukraine, which partially alleviates the immediate crisis but raises concerns about forced displacement. The mechanism and timeline for this corridor remain unclear.
