Hundreds of people evacuated from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky arrived in Ukraine’s Chernihiv region after travelling through Russia and Belarus. Residents described years of shelling, shortages and perilous escape routes, with some saying people crossed minefields to find food. A temporary humanitarian ceasefire enabled a convoy of 25 buses to leave, carrying up to 750 people, including residents needing ambulances. Families reunited after years apart, while evacuees voiced concern for those who stayed behind. They now face finding housing, work and ways to rebuild their lives.
