The humanitarian operation to bring aid to the civilian population of the town of Oleshky, in the Ukrainian region of Kherson, occupied by Russian troops, comes to life, where according to the latest news, 2,000 civilians, including children and elderly people, are exhausted due to the lack of food and medicines and even drinking water. The Russian commissioner for human rights, Yania Lantratova, said that she is holding the humanitarian truce which, according to the White House, was favored by the mediation work of First Lady Melania Trump, and therefore the departures from the city of those who want to leave will soon begin. On Tuesday the pro-Russian governor of the Kherson region under the control of Moscow's forces, Vladimir Saldo, said that the access roads to the town were being cleared of mines to allow evacuations.

Barack Obama takes to the field on the eve of the midterm elections. The former Democratic president of the United States intervenes during a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, in favor of the gubernatorial candidate, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and senator Jon Ossoff, and launches a lunge at Donald Trump. “We need to have reality shows on Bravo, we don't need them in the White House,” he says “We need serious people in Washington and state capitals, these are serious times.” "The White House is bending to the will of Vladimir Putin and is betraying the Ukrainians who are fighting for their freedom and democracy, abandoning them to their fate", Obama then attacks. "They chose to wage a war that was not at all necessary", he continues, speaking of the conflict with Iran, and "they decided to impose tariffs. This is why prices are rising and this is why the cost of petrol is so high. One would think that, at least, in the face of all this, the current president would have approved some measures to reduce prices".
