Details: Sybiha said that Ukraine's Armed Forces are doing everything they can to help people in Oleshky, including delivering humanitarian aid by drones.

"Every day counts in saving people who are starving and dying there. We urge our international partners to act now and demand immediate humanitarian access to end this disaster," Sybiha wrote.

The Ukrainian foreign minister said Russia is planning a propaganda campaign aimed at denying that there is a humanitarian catastrophe in the city.

"According to our intelligence, Russia is preparing to stage dozens of videos in occupied Oleshky, forcing local residents to say on camera that they are happy, well-fed, and grateful to the Russian occupiers," Sybiha said.

Background:

• On 28 September, EU chief diplomat Kaja Kallas said that the EU is trying to deliver humanitarian aid to occupied Oleshky.
• The European Union has also said it is demanding that Russia provide humanitarian access to Oleshky and is working with its international partners to secure it.
