Officials from Moscow and Kyiv traveled together from Belarus on Tuesday to oversee a mission providing emergency supplies to civilians in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky. The joint flight followed the first face-to-face meeting between the two delegations for this specific operation, which aims to clear mined access routes and provide food, water, medicine, and evacuation assistance to trapped residents in the Kherson region.
The aid effort is operating under a local ceasefire brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump that took effect Oct 27. According to the terms of the agreement, coordinated missions will occur at least once a month, while 4 journalists from Newsmax are accompanying the representatives as neutral observers to independently document the operation.
