'We came back from hell', say Ukrainians after years in Russia-occupied frontline city

Hundreds of residents of Oleshky, a Ukrainian city occupied by Russia since February 2022, were evacuated and arrived in the Chernihiv region after travelling through Russia and Belarus. Olha and Viacheslav described shelling, dwindling supplies and the dangers of mined or drone-targeted escape routes; some residents resorted to cooking weeds to survive. A humanitarian ceasefire brokered by Melania Trump allowed residents to leave during a four-hour window in a convoy of 25 buses. Up to 6,000 people, including 200 children, were believed to remain in the city and surrounding areas.
