"As of now, the enemy is observing the ceasefire in the designated area for a humanitarian mission in temporarily occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region.

No shelling of the Kherson region has been recorded today," he said.

At the same time, enemy forces are using the "ceasefire" for logistical support, movements related to the evacuation of wounded and fallen service members, and the rotation of personnel at forward positions.

Kravchuk recalled that the "ceasefire" was established exclusively to carry out the humanitarian mission: delivering aid to residents currently in the city and evacuating civilians from Oleshky to Ukrainian-controlled territory.

"Units of the 'South' Grouping of Troops (Forces) are closely following developments and monitoring changes in the operational situation. We will promptly inform the public of any significant changes.

We hope the Russian side will act responsibly and ensure the humanitarian mission is not disrupted," the spokesperson concluded.
