A major evacuation, ending in emotional reunions.

after living in what they describe as horrible conditions.
It's shameful to say that things got so bad we ended up eating weeds.
It's shameful to admit that. But we had to eat whatever we could.
A temporary ceasefire across Ukraine's Kherson region allowed people
to flee the Russian-occupied
city of Oleshky. They arrived
in the Chernihiv region Saturday after traveling through Russia
and Belarus. People were given the choice to either evacuate to Russian
or Ukrainian-controlled
territory or stay.
The Pope praised the humanitarian mission Sunday.
AUSPICO QUE LA COLLABORACIÓN...
I hope that the cooperation between the parties,
which made this necessary act of humanity possible,
will strengthen the desire for dialogue
and lead to new initiatives for peace.
Peace.
An estimated 2,000 people were living in Oleshky
when the truce first took effect.
It's unclear how many people remain.
Moscow and Kyiv have reportedly agreed
to regularly deliver aid to the town.
Both countries continued strikes
in other regions during the localized ceasefire.
People living in the Kherson region are bracing for the return of war.
