We are now moving towards agreeing the final details on ensuring a ceasefire and evacuating everyone who wishes to leave, not just from Oleshky elsewhere, but directly to territory controlled by the Ukrainian government. There are still some difficult issues, so to speak, but I hope that in the near future we will all see results from these negotiations.
Mixed. The ceasefire half held: a local truce took effect in Oleshky on October 27 (Russia’s defence ministry, via BBC) and both commissioners reported no violations to October 29 (AP). The evacuation half has not: none had begun by October 29, and reported plans route people through occupied Crimea or Russia (Guardian; Save Ukraine, DW), not directly to Ukrainian-held territory.
