Ukraine delivers food and medicine for civilians in Oleschy with the help of drone

The Russia-Ukraine War has left 4.5 years behind. While mutual attacks continue, Ukraine's unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) capacity also draws attention.

In addition to attacks and reconnaissance studies, Ukraine also uses drones for the needs of its soldiers at the front and the civilian population stuck behind the occupied areas. The Ukrainian army sent food and medicine again by drone to the Oleski town in southern Ukraine, which is under Russian occupation.

UNDER OCCUPATION SINCE 2022

Oleski, located on the front line on the banks of the Dnieper River separating Ukrainian and Russian forces, has been under Russian occupation since 2022.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, in his post on his social media account, said, "Russia has been trying to isolate the Ukrainians in Oleschy from the outside world for months, and even prevents the delivery of food to people who are experiencing serious food shortages." he said.

Sybiha stated that the last aid package included approximately 4 tons of food and medicine, and these were delivered in approximately 400 packages.

Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, in his statement to the Ukrainian media last month, said that Russia did not accept Ukrainian proposals to allow the evacuation of civilians from Oleski.

The Kremlin, on the other hand, reported that there were serious problems with the supply of food and medicine in Oleski, but that the Russian army was working to solve these problems.
