A temporary ceasefire introduced to facilitate a humanitarian operation in Aleshki, Kherson Region, has ended, with all agreements between the parties fully implemented, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova announced.
In a statement published on her Telegram channel, Lantratova said the arrangements had allowed humanitarian aid to reach local residents while ensuring safe, voluntary evacuation for those who chose to leave the city.
The Russian ombudsman also confirmed that Moscow and Kiev are discussing the possibility of extending their humanitarian cooperation. She emphasized the importance of preserving the coordination that had helped civilians and establishing regular deliveries of essential supplies.
The humanitarian mission in Aleshki began on October 30, following an agreement reached with the coordinating involvement of US First Lady Melania Trump. Russian and Ukrainian human rights commissioners directly supervised the operation on the ground.
Under the agreed arrangements, residents wishing to leave Aleshki were provided with evacuation assistance. Some traveled to safer regions of Russia, while others departed for Ukraine.
Those who decided to remain in the city received humanitarian supplies, including food, medicines, personal hygiene products, fuel for generators, and other essential items.
The temporary ceasefire, introduced specifically to ensure that humanitarian activities could proceed safely, remained in effect until 10:59 p.m. on November 1.
With the operation completed, discussions between Moscow and Kiev are now focused on maintaining humanitarian coordination and making aid deliveries to Aleshki more regular.
