Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Andriy Sybiha, stated that Ukraine is demanding an organized evacuation from Oleshky in the Kherson region. He asserted that Russia is obstructing humanitarian aid and evacuation efforts in the occupied territories, and must be held responsible for the consequences.

Sybiha further claimed that the situation in Oleshky and other occupied communities in the Kherson region should not be presented as an independent humanitarian crisis, emphasizing Russia's role in occupying and blocking aid. The International Committee of the Red Cross and other international humanitarian organizations are reportedly ready to assist and deliver cargo to Oleshky, but face Russian obstruction.
