A local ceasefire in the Russian-occupied southern Ukrainian city of Oleshky held through its first 30 hours, Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said on Wednesday, with no breaches reported. The truce began on Tuesday and has been agreed until November 1, allowing residents who had been unable to leave to evacuate. France 24 reported that the ceasefire was US-brokered, while BBC World reported that it was brokered by Melania Trump. BBC World reported that the city has had no electricity, gas or water for three years, and residents have said they had to eat weeds to survive. Fighting between Moscow and Kyiv continues elsewhere along the front. The available reports did not describe the wider terms of the truce beyond the evacuation window.
