Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called on the UN and the Red Cross to ensure safe evacuation corridors and humanitarian access to the city of Oleshky in southern Ukraine, which is under Russian control. Sybiha accused Russian forces of trying to turn the city into a "death trap," claiming that the city's hospital has run out of medicine and that dozens of bodies are lying in the streets. According to him, hungry families are surviving on vegetable scraps, canned goods, and snails. According to Reuters, about 1,700 residents remain in the city, including 47 children, compared to 24,000 before the war. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy described the situation as "genocide." Putin pledged to cooperate in bringing in supplies, and the Ukrainian army air-dropped food and medicine using drones.
