OLESHKY❗Mined roads, FOOD SHORTAGE, BEATINGS by the occupiers. People are FLEEING the occupied city

Speaker 1

A few days ago, people were leaving on bicycles toward Radynske, another settlement not far from Oleshky. The problem is that sections of the roads in this direction are mined. And this mining is updated from time to time, and therefore people often hit these very mines. That is, they can somehow leave or get out. But, firstly, it is a difficult road. Secondly, they try to leave with children, which is also hard. And the worst thing is that the logistical exit routes from Oleshky are mined. And leaving from there is very dangerous.

Speaker 2

And at the same time, besides the fact that the Russians brought about such a situation—literally a catastrophe in the city—we know that the Russians still shoot down those drones with humanitarian aid that are flying. And even if, according to some information, they manage to deliver provisions, then they also hunt for the people who take these supplies. Tell me, is this true?

Speaker 1

Indeed, the Russians are opposing our attempts to deliver humanitarian aid to Valezhky. These two shipments, which occurred recently, are the largest shipments. Before this, we also tried to do so. We had successful attempts to bring in humanitarian aid specifically using large UAVs. At the same time, yes, the Russians tried to shoot them down. During the last two deliveries, we did not lose any of our drones. This was preceded by extensive preparation and coordination of our units because it was a very complex operation. You understand yourselves how saturated the line of combat engagement is with EW equipment, radars, and such. Like, the Russians previously tried to shoot them down physically. They had a lot of infantry, many mobile fire groups in Valezhky, and they tried to shoot down the drones physically. During the last two operations, they lost our aircraft.

Speaker 3

Mr. Pavlo, and how do the Russians themselves communicate the situation? How do they explain things or give instructions to the locals?

Speaker 1

First, the Russians are trying to discredit both in Telegram channels and in their mass media. The top military leadership of our country, specifically regarding Oleshky, as well as simply the military defense forces of Ukraine. That is, they accuse us specifically of the city being blocked, and that the access roads to the city are also mined. That is, they say that we are the ones doing it. And besides all that, we know from intelligence data that they have planned filming, interviews with locals, where they are supposed to praise the occupying authorities and say that everything is fine with them. Furthermore, they are trying to do this not only in Oleshky, but also in other settlements located deeper in the Russian rear, where it is safer. That is, they are trying in every way to discredit both the defense forces of Ukraine and our state's top leadership.
