In Oleshky, Kherson region, temporarily occupied by Russia, people are facing a horrific humanitarian crisis. Reports say residents are searching for food scraps and collecting grass simply to survive.
Russia is cutting off supplies of food, medicine and other basic necessities, while denying humanitarian organisations access and blocking efforts to evacuate civilians. Russian FPV drones are hunting people in the streets.
Oleshky had around 24,000 residents before the full-scale war. Today, only about 2,000 remain, including around 50 children. There is no electricity or gas, while food, medicine and other essential supplies have been unavailable for the past month.
Ukraine is working to organise an evacuation. The ICRC has confirmed that it is ready to take part, and international humanitarian organisations are prepared to provide life-saving aid. Yet Russia is preventing these efforts from reaching people.
The suffering in Oleshky and other occupied communities of the Kherson region is a direct consequence of Russia’s actions. The international community must put pressure on Russia to allow humanitarian organisations access, establish a humanitarian corridor, and ensure civilians can leave safely.
"We will not allow these crimes to remain hidden behind the frontline and Russia’s refusal to grant access to the occupied territories," Ukraine's Foreign Minister @andrii_sybiha has stressed.
@callander1012@STVNews Right, so what about all the young people that didn’t get to vote? Is their lifetime not included? Why the fuck should we prop up your pensions when we don’t get to a say on our futures?
@RealStephenKerr Yeah but you thought it was appropriate to piss over £200,000 up the wall of OUR tax paying money on asking stupid fucking AI questions. Get fucked old man
Non-ukrainian mutuals, if you're reading this please don't be silent about Oleshky, approximately 6000 people 200 of which are children are trapped in there without any food or water
This is Craig McNab.
Yesterday he filmed & harassed us on the march. Later, he came back with masked men to try to attack us.
In 2016 he was convicted after grabbing his partner by the throat and slashing the door she and her son hid behind with a sword.
“Protectors of women”
As a rape survivor, no he has a point.
When the layman thinks of rape they think of a stranger committing a super violent act- they never think about the husband repeatedly pressures his wife until she agrees despite clearly not wanting it.
