Ukraine to urge UN to take action over hunger in Russian-occupied Oleshky
- The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations appealed to Pope Leo XIV and international leaders to prevent mass starvation in Russian-occupied Oleshky, warning the city faces a complete military blockade and humanitarian catastrophe.
- According to council estimates, more than 6,000 residents, including approximately 200 children, remain trapped in Oleshky, with no confirmed humanitarian food deliveries reaching the settlement since late May 2026.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha intends to raise the crisis before the UN General Assembly, reporting residents "were dying from hunger and cold" and stating "the occupiers are not allowing humanitarian aid through."
- The Kremlin said on Monday that Oleshky has critical problems with food and medicine supplies, though officials claimed the Russian military is working to resolve these issues in the occupied Kherson region.
- Although Oleshky sits only four kilometers across the Dnipro River from liberated Kherson, destroyed bridges, intense frontline combat, and dense minefields prevent residents from crossing to safety or receiving outside aid.
