Oleshky evacuees recount survival under occupation
Residents evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky have arrived in Ukrainian-held territory after a rare localized ceasefire enabled civilians to leave.
Speaking to DW, evacuees described years of isolation, food shortages, and regular shelling, with some saying they survived by eating grass and dogs as supplies ran out.
The rescue operation brought families back together at a reception point in northern Ukraine, where relatives, volunteers, and local residents welcomed the arrivals after their journey through Russia and Belarus.
