Pina Picierno, Vice President of the European Parliament, has initiated a hunger strike to demand a truce and the evacuation of civilians from Oleshky, a town currently under Russian occupation in Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast. Picierno is urging associations, citizens, and governmental bodies at both national and local levels to support her campaign. The move aims to draw international attention to the plight of residents in the Russian-held territory. She hopes increased pressure will lead to humanitarian access and safe passage for those wishing to leave Oleshky. The hunger strike underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action to protect civilians. This protest highlights the ongoing concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis unfolding within Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine.
