🇺🇦 The Russian-occupied town of Oleshky is beginning to starve. Former residents and Ukrainian refugees say those left in the town face an impossible choice: stay and risk starving to death or leave and risk being hit by a landmine or drone. Watch the story ⤵️

Oleshky is why Ukraine cannot surrender an inch of territory. It’s a European town where civilians are starving to death & being hunted by russian drones. Now imagine condemning millions more Ukrainians to that fate. That’s what would happen.

People in the international community, if they know about Oleshky at all, might wonder why fascist Russia indulges in such obvious evil against a seemingly random Ukrainian town under occupation by its army.
