Residents evacuated from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky have reached Ukrainian-controlled territory, according to reports published on October 31, 2026.
Tagesschau reported that the residents had previously been transported to Belarus on military aircraft. The reports do not establish which authorities organized or officially confirmed the evacuation.
The Moscow Times, citing Belarusian state media, reported that the evacuees arrived in Gomel after traveling through occupied Crimea and Anapa. Euronews described the transfer as taking place amid a localized truce between Kyiv and Moscow.
The supplied reports do not specify how many people were evacuated, and they do not detail the full route or timing between Gomel and Ukrainian-controlled territory. The available evidence confirms the reporting date but does not establish a single date for every stage of the movement.
