The European Union, together with international organizations, is trying to gain access to the occupied town of Oleshki in the Kherson region so that civilians can receive humanitarian aid. The EU has called the situation in the town unacceptable.
This was stated by European Commission spokeswoman Eva Grnchirzhova, answering a question from a European Truth correspondent in Brussels.
According to her, it is currently difficult for humanitarian organizations to get to Oleshki. In particular, there are no humanitarian corridors through which aid could be delivered or people could be safely evacuated.
The EU emphasizes that civilians in the war zone must receive basic assistance without hindrance. People must also be given the opportunity to voluntarily and safely leave dangerous areas.
“What is happening in Oleshki is unacceptable,” Grnchirzhova said.
The European Union is currently working with Ukraine and international humanitarian organizations to find a way to get into the city and help the local population.
The European Commission added that they are monitoring not only the situation in Oleshki, but also the situation of civilians in other Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.
We would like to remind you that a humanitarian catastrophe is ongoing in the temporarily occupied Oleshki in the Kherson region. About two thousand people remain in the city itself, who have critical problems with access to food and medicine , while the possibility of leaving is effectively blocked.
As reported, after negotiations, the Russian side has not confirmed its readiness to conduct a humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians from temporarily occupied Olesho k. for a long time. The situation has reached the point where some people are trying to get out of the city on their own through minefields.
Later, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that Russia was creating a humanitarian blockade on the temporarily occupied left-bank Kherson region . The most difficult situation, he said, was in Oleshki, where about 2,000 people were left without electricity, gas, and regular supplies of food and medicine.
