167 Civilians Evacuated from Right Bank of Kherson During Ceasefire, Including 22 Children and 21 Mobility-Impaired Individuals

Humanitarian Evacuation Conducted Amid Ceasefire

According to Рубрика — Суспільство: During a ceasefire arranged for a humanitarian operation in Oleshky, Ukrainian forces successfully evacuated 167 civilians from the right bank of the Kherson region. Among those evacuated were 22 children and 21 individuals with limited mobility. The evacuation took place within territory controlled by Ukraine along the Dnipro River, although the routes were complicated by ongoing shelling from Russian military forces targeting local settlements daily.

The evacuation was coordinated by the civil-military cooperation units of the Southern Forces Group in partnership with local authorities. The operation involved navigating mined roads and damaged areas littered with destroyed military equipment and civilian vehicles. Despite these dangers, preserving civilian lives and assisting those unable to leave hazardous zones independently remained the top priority.
