Posted Updated (4 d ago)

A humanitarian aid mission is set to enter Oleshky, a Ukrainian official said on Thursday, France 24 reports. The local ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia held for a third day. PBS NewsHour also reports aid is expected to enter the city soon.

France 24 says about 2,000 residents are cut off from essential supplies, with reports that many are starving. Deutsche Welle earlier reported severe shortages of food and medicine in the town.

The truce began on Tuesday, according to France 24, and is expected to last until Sunday. The BBC reported that officials extended it across the wider Kherson region. It said Russia and Ukraine both reported no breaches. The BBC says Melania Trump announced the truce. France 24 says she brokered it.

Fighting elsewhere has continued. The Guardian reported that Russia launched 16 ballistic missiles and more than 280 drones overnight as the truce began, with at least 15 people injured in Kyiv. The Guardian attributes the figures to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
