Evacuees from Russian-occupied Oleshky, Ukraine, consistently report severe humanitarian conditions, including food shortages, constant bombardments, and threats from landmines and drones. While reports of starvation and consumption of dogs and grass are claimed, the broader dire conditions and extreme difficulty of escape are partially confirmed by multiple sources. The lack of independent verification for specific claims remains a key uncertainty.
