🆘 We still have time to save Kherson, the city in Ukraine, which is being bombarded and attacked by drones daily.

Today, the theater was shelled; many historic buildings destroyed this week.

Our film can raise the global awareness.

🔴 Behind me, you can see Oleshky: the town no one wanted to hear about nine months ago.

Now, the world knows but the ordeal is not over.

The next week ceasefire will be used for a “press tour” to whitewash Russia's war crimes.

Don't fall for Russian propaganda.

And here is the detailed analysis:
🔴 A ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky opens the way for a Kremlin-controlled press tour and gaslighting operation designed to shift blame for the humanitarian crisis onto Ukraine.

Here is how it is done:

.@avalaina described the horrible situation in Oleshky, where "people are eating grass."

“I had multiple reports of bodies left to rot in the roads," journalist @ZarinaZabrisky said. "There are packs of wild dogs consuming the human remains."

First Lady Melania Trump announced that she helped secure a localized ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the city of Oleshky to create a safe pathway for humanitarian aid and facilitate the evacuations of elderly residents.

Mrs. Trump worked directly with Ukrainian and Russian leadership as the “exclusive intermediary” and initiated discussions to secure the terms of the ceasefire agreement, which begins on October 29, according to a press release from the First Lady’s office.

“The people of Oleshky have limited electricity, live amid mined roads, and endure regular military attacks. It was abundantly clear that without my intervention, the possibility to bring humanitarian aid into the city and to evacuate the elderly would be impossible," Trump said in a statement.

Russia will use “Oleshky ceasefire” as another Potemkin village press tour opportunity to whitewash its crimes in the occupied Kherson region.

They are already blaming the drone siege on Ukrainians.

⬇️ an excellent summary by @CaolanReports

My detailed article is up today
russia is about to use a humanitarian crisis it CAUSED as a PR stunt.

Vital to remember that people are still in Oleshky because russia held them hostage as human shields. Putin will try rewrite history & pretend he cares about saving lives. But russia caused this.

“Humanitarians”

My only comments are in the article below.

Nothing else to say.

Continue ignoring facts and reap the world as it is now.

Greetings from Kherson where “Russia is doing fine” killing and maiming my friends and neighbors daily.
🔴 Trump:

Restrictions on the Ukrainian military’s use of Starlink
Interruptions in US intelligence sharing
A diesel fuel deal with the Kremlin
The waiver of major sanctions on Russia
Confrontation with Zelenskyy

Why?

🔴 As Russia is gaslighting the world, framing the humanitarian catastrophe in Oleshky as yet another instance of “Ukrainians bombing themselves”, SM platforms slow down the reports from the ground, as usual.

Here is an important exclusive report, hidden from the world.
🔴 Ukrainian Marines deliver food by drone to save lives as Russia starves Ukrainian civilians in Oleshky, Kherson region.

I am grateful for this opportunity to shed more light on the humanitarian catastrophe in the Kherson region and Russian war crimes in the occupied territories (and elsewhere in Ukraine.)

Hopeful.
Today, together with 🇳🇴Ambassador @NorwayAmbUSA Anniken Huitfeldt, we co-hosted a briefing on the humanitarian catastrophe in #Oleshky and surrounding villages in the temporarily occupied Kherson region, for diplomats, U.S. Department of State representatives, human rights sts, and think tanks.

Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, 25,000 people lived in Oleshky. Today, only around 2,000 remain, including 35 children. For years, they have lived without electricity, gas, heating, or water supply. No food has been officially delivered since May 26, 2026. The only supply route crosses mined territory under the threat of shelling. Ukraine has tried to reach starving residents, including by drone.

What is happening in Oleshky echoes the Holodomor of 1932–1933, the genocide committed by the Soviet regime against Ukrainians. Today, Russia is once again using starvation, destruction, and the denial of humanitarian aid as weapons against our people. These are war crimes that demand international attention and concrete action.

I am grateful to Ambassador Anniken Huitfeldt and our Norwegian partners @NorwayUS for their solidarity and co-hosting this briefing. Thank you to @avalaina and @ZarinaZabrisky for their powerful testimonies about Oleshky.

The people of Oleshky must not be forgotten. Their lives depend on international attention and action.

I find this assessment extremely appropriate.
Our assessment is that the wave of violence and arson accompanying the ongoing protests and riots in France, and its subsequent online amplification by international right-wing propaganda networks, may indicate a coordinated hybrid operation involving Russian intelligence services, in collaboration with actors linked to the United States and Israel. The extent of foreign involvement, including any coordination between the suspected actors, remains unverified. It warrants further investigation.

One of the main joys of a road trip is meeting incredible people, making new friends and visiting loved ones, even during the war.

I first met @BohuslavskaKate in 2023 and was stunned by a rare combination of brilliance, beauty and bravery. It was terrific to meet again!
On their journey across Ukraine, the amazing @ZarinaZabrisky and @CaolanReports stopped by Kharkiv! It was so great to see Zarina again and finally meet Caolan in person.

It takes immense courage and dedication to endure hardships and risk everything to cover this war like they line. Their professionalism, fearlessness, and commitment to Ukraine and to the truth mean the world!

Of all the people who could cast some light on this subject, BBC Newsnight chose…Putin’s former spokesman?
"It's a direct lie... Either Prime Minister Burnham is lying, or the intelligence service of Great Britain."

Former Putin spokesperson Sergei Markov says that the PM's claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum is "absolutely a clear lie."
