Some 6,000 people — 200 of them children — are right now starving to death in a humanitarian catastrophe orchestrated by Vladimir Putin's Russia.
The town of Oleshky and its surrounding district in the occupied part of Kherson Oblast exist under Russian occupation as a prison — and it is rapidly turning into a death camp.
No one is allowed in or out. The last food delivery was on May 26. Medical supplies are close to non-existent.

Не відвертайте очі! Це українські діти, яких калічить і вбиває росія, поки світ веде дискусії з трибун, чи ми маєм право жити…

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
La russie affame les Ukrainiens d’Oleshky occupée.
Plus de 6 000 personnes, dont 200 enfants, privées de ravitaillement depuis le 26 mai, empêchées de fuir.
En Europe. En 2026.
Місто Олешки на Херсонщині перебуває в гуманітарній блокаді і знаходиться на грані катастрофи.
За різними оцінками, там залишається понад 6 тисяч людей, серед них близько 200 дітей.
Росіяни перешкоджають людям залишати місто. Критична інфраструктура фактично зруйнована, електро- та газопостачання відсутні.
Все заміновано. Там не підвозять ліки та їжу. Там тіла людей на вулицях.
У 2023 році Олешки також пережили масштабне затоплення після підриву російськими військами греблі Каховської ГЕС.
Horrifying pictures of temporary occupied Oleshky. Russia is deliberately creating a humanitarian disaster, preventing access to food &medicine, obstructing humanitarian access. Ukraine needs support of @UN@ICRC to urge Russia to grant access & enable evacuation of 🇺🇦civilians.
The city of Oleshky in the Kherson region is under a humanitarian blockade and is on the brink of catastrophe.
According to various estimates, more than 6,000 people remain there, including about 200 children.
The Russians are preventing people from leaving the city. Critical infrastructure has been essentially destroyed, with no electricity or gas supply.
❗️The total blockade and resulting starvation in the Ukrainian town of Oleshky bear a striking resemblance to a combination of the Holodomor and the Holocaust. No one cares whether a person lives or dies.
🔴 And the most harrowing part is that there are children there.
A modern day concentration camp.
The town is located across the Dnipro, it is not under assault.
The civilians in this town are trapped by russia oppression, for simply being Ukrainian.
6000 human souls starving to death.
Russia is doing this, to kill off the Ukrainians that live there, in order to repopulate it with russians.
This is symptomatic of the russian genocide of Ukraine.
Bazyl Semenko, a Ukrainian futurist artist in front of his painting “City” (1914). from the archive of Marko Semenko. being one of the founding fathers of the Ukrainian futurism, of all his work only few photographs survived in which Semenko poses in front of his innovative paintings with his face painted in the signature futurist style. he was drafted into a russian imperial army and was killed in WWI in 1916
Please spread information about mass starvation of people in Oleshky, Kherson region. Russians are creating a humanitarian catastrophe on occupied territories.
It’s dehumanising to hear so many advocate for Ukraine to submit to Russian imperialism: the erasure of Ukrainian culture, language and identity, as is the policy being implemented in all Russian occupied areas. The violence being committed against civilians is horrific.
I cannot understand how a human rights defender like Albanese can argue against Ukraine’s right to self defense. It is again, dehumanising. It amounts to advocating for Russian occupation and all these violence that we know comes along with that.
Thousands of Ukrainians in occupied Kherson are now in mass starvation conditions. Under international law, the occupying power is REQUIRED to allow aid in to prevent a famine. Where is the global outrage? Speak up about Oleshky!
Russia is literally STARVING CHILDREN TO DEATH in territory that they CURRENTLY OCCUPY.
Where is the outrage??? Speak up about Oleshky! Hold the occupiers responsible!
