In the occupied city of Oleksky, residents are relying on weeds from gardens to survive amid a critical food shortage. Reports indicate that approximately 2,000 people remain in the city, a stark decline from a pre-war population of around 24,000. The area is effectively isolated, lacking electricity, with stores closed and evacuation hindered by mined roads. According to reports, Russian occupying forces have not approved any humanitarian corridor, leaving the residents without aid. Sibiga from the UN noted that the last food supplies were delivered to the city before the summer started.
