People evacuated from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky were reunited with their loved ones on Saturday after crossing from Belarus into Ukraine.
The reunions took place at a site in the Chernihiv region of northern Ukraine, where evacuees arrived in buses and ambulances following their evacuation from the Ukrainian town on Friday and a journey via Crimea and Russia.
The reunions came as a ceasefire brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump took effect on Tuesday across the frontline region of Kherson. Ceasefire measures are set to remain in place until the end of Sunday, 1 November.
BBC correspondent Dan Johnson reported from the site near the northern Ukrainian border with Belarus.
