Ukraine's military uses drones to deliver food and medicine to Russian-occupied Oleshky

On September 28, 2026, Ukraine's military used heavy-lift drones to deliver about four tons of food and medical supplies to the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky in the Kherson region. The operation, confirmed by Governor Oleksandr Prokudin, reached about 100 locations simultaneously. Nearly 2,000 residents, including 50 children, remain in the town without adequate food, water, or electricity. Russian forces have been blocking evacuations and confiscating aid. The UN and Council of Europe have warned of a high risk of death for civilians. Ukraine accuses Russia of creating a humanitarian catastrophe, while Russia claims it is working to resolve supply problems.
