Ukrainian evacuees from Russian-occupied Oleshky reunite with family
Starved and exhausted residents of Oleshky arrive in Ukraine after months of isolation, but some stay behind.
What the coverage shows
All outlets converge on evacuees from Russian-occupied Oleshky reaching Ukrainian-controlled or Ukrainian-held territory, with several also noting the Belarus transit and a ceasefire or truce. BBC News, AP, Reuters and the South China Morning Post foreground the Belarus leg, while France 24, The Hill, The Guardian US and Al Jazeera emphasize the return into Ukraine or family reunions. The Independent alone adds the extract’s detail about evacuees saying they had been forced to eat grass.
