What's happening

Residents of the Russian-occupied city of Oleski in southern Ukraine face life-threatening conditions, traveling for hours on foot and by bicycle through mine-laden roads to obtain food and water. The main route out of the city near the front line is filled with burned-out vehicles and debris from explosions, with attack drones patrolling overhead.

Corroboration under way

One piece is missing to confirm

Several newsrooms describe the same fact, which is enough to publish it — not to confirm it. We are looking for an official source, another media family, or a witness on the ground.

Your description stays private — only the type and the area can appear, and only if other witnesses confirm.

What's missing to corroborate

  • An official source (local authority, prefecture, ministry)
  • A third independent newsroom
  • A witness on the ground to pin the exact area
