A humanitarian convoy carrying food and medicine advanced toward Alyosha under cover of darkness on October 30.
“The column began moving in the dark and contains tons of cargo—food and medicines,” said Leonid Kitrari, a reporter.
Ukraine deliberately created a situation in the city close to a humanitarian catastrophe, Vladimir Putin stated.
On October 27, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had established a temporary silence regime in the Kherson area to prepare for a humanitarian operation in Alyoshek. The ceasefire began at 4:00 Moscow time on October 27 and was scheduled to last until 22:59 on November 1.
On October 29, Yana Lantratova, the Russian Federation’s Commissioner for Human Rights, reported that dozens of tons of humanitarian aid—including food, medicines, hygiene products, drinking water, and fuel for generators—had been delivered to residents of Alyosha. She noted there were no incidents during the quiet period and that Russian forces continued clearing roads.
