Background: Under the agreements between the Russian and Ukrainian sides, the evacuation route for residents of Oleshky will go via Russia and Belarus to Ukraine . Earlier, US television channel Fox News published a document signed by Russian commissioner Yana Lantratova which stated that Oleshky residents who wish to evacuate to Ukraine will initially be taken to Anapa airport in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. From Anapa, the Ukrainian delegation and Oleshky residents will be taken to Homiel (Gomel) airport in Belarus on a Russian Defence Ministry military transport plane. This is likely to take place on Saturday 31 October.
