War in Ukraine: Kherson and Oleshky, two worlds face to face just 10 kilometers apart
The article discusses the stark contrast between the occupied town of Oleshky and the Ukrainian-controlled Kherson, which are only 10 kilometers apart. Residents of Oleshky, like Nataliya and Vassyl Marystky, have faced unbearable living conditions under Russian occupation and have risked their lives to escape. Their journey to Kherson highlights the challenges and emotional turmoil of leaving their former lives behind amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine.
- ▪Oleshky has been occupied by Russian military forces since the invasion began in February 2022.
- ▪Residents like the Marystkys faced dire conditions with no water, gas, or electricity.
- ▪The journey from Oleshky to Kherson now requires a lengthy detour through occupied regions and even Russia.
