Lubinets Reports Zero Violations in Oleshky Truce
Ukraine's human rights commissioner credits direct coordination with Moscow and US First Lady Melania Trump for the sustained silence in the occupied city.
By Andrew Yang ·
Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights, announced on October 28 that the temporarily occupied city of Oleshky has remained quiet for 30 hours since the ceasefire took effect. He stated on social media that no incidents have been recorded during this period.
Lubinets attributed the calm to ongoing communication with Yana Lantratova, Russia's human rights commissioner. He noted that the two officials are coordinating the implementation of the agreements reached. "We remain in contact and are coordinating the implementation of the agreements reached," he wrote.
The Ukrainian official also acknowledged the role of US First Lady Melania Trump in the humanitarian mission. He credited her direct involvement and the coordination of efforts between the parties as important components of the process. Lubinets extended thanks to her team for their continued support and communication.
The primary goal of the current arrangement is to assist Oleshky's civilian population and facilitate safe evacuation. This update follows a report from October 27, when Lubinets confirmed that both Ukraine and Russia were fully complying with the truce as of 17:30. No violations had been recorded by either side at that time.
The ceasefire stems from a White House announcement on October 23. The administration said Trump had secured the agreement in Oleshky, where a humanitarian disaster is unfolding. Lubinets later specified that the truce began at 03:00 Kyiv time on October 27. Russia's Defence Ministry confirmed the start of the ceasefire.
The arrangement is scheduled to remain in effect until 22:59 on November 2.
