According to him, there are three categories of citizens who requested a specific type of assistance.

"The first category consists of citizens who wanted to physically remain in Oleshky. I even had the opportunity to speak with citizens there. They personally confirmed to me that it was indeed their wish to continue physically staying there," said Lubinets.

A substantial amount of humanitarian aid was delivered for this group of people: food, water, medicine, fuel for generators, and specialized equipment for the hospital that continues to operate in Oleshky.

"The next category consists of citizens who requested assistance in leaving Oleshky to physically reach territory controlled by the Ukrainian government," he noted.

And the third category consists of citizens who requested assistance in leaving to remain in territory controlled by Russia.

This includes both the temporarily occupied territories and the territory of the Russian Federation.

Repatriation efforts were also carried out in Oleshky; during the ceasefire, the bodies of deceased citizens—both military personnel and civilians—were removed from the morgue of the Oleshky Hospital.
