France 24, the BBC and The Washington Times report that residents of Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine, left on Friday during a temporary ceasefire. France 24 reports that they went to Russia's Anapa with a Ukrainian delegation, and Ukrainian negotiator David Arakhamia said the group was heading there. The BBC reports that hundreds were evacuated within a four-hour window and that some people stayed behind without power or water. The truce, announced by US First Lady Melania Trump, was due to end on Sunday evening. Former residents told France 24 they had faced food and medicine shortages for months.
