Severe conditions were reported in Oleshky, a southern Ukrainian town occupied by Russian forces since 2022. Bodies were said to remain in the streets and be eaten by dogs, while residents faced drone attacks, mines on the roads and a lack of food. No one was able to leave the town. Ksenia Archipova, who had previously escaped and now works as an aid worker, remained in daily contact with people there. The account also said the crisis had been acknowledged by the Kremlin.
