Some residents approached the visiting delegation with a clear message: they wanted to remain in Oleshky. Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, recounts those conversations while explaining a humanitarian operation bringing aid and evacuation buses into the city.

Ukraine's Television News Service (TSN) reports that the convoy entered Russian-occupied Oleshky under an agreed pause in fighting. The city lies on the left bank of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine's Kherson region.

The footage follows the journey as well as the officials' statements. It opens with military personnel examining broken drones and equipment near a damaged building. Lubinets and other delegation members then travel by bus, with stops for discussions beside the convoy and hot drinks at a nighttime gas station.

The route passes a checkpoint marked Armiansk, in northern Crimea. Before entering the dangerous area, journalists put on protective vests bearing the word PRESS. The convoy continues through rain under escort; elsewhere, a vehicle marked as Russian military police is visible.

Speaking to journalists in Oleshky, a representative of the Russian ombudsman's office says humanitarian supplies have been unloaded and describes arrangements for civilian transport. Lubinets says there have been no violations since the agreed pause began. That assurance is his account of the operation, not a statement about a wider ceasefire.

Lubinets confirms the delivery of humanitarian aid and discusses transporting residents' belongings. He also says staff from both ombudsman offices are working on every bus. His account makes clear that arranging a departure is not the only task: some people want to leave, while others have told the delegation they want to stay.
