A Ukrainian official says that humanitarian aid is set to arrive in the stricken Russian-occupied city of Oleshky on Friday, as a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine stretches into its third day

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the truce in Oleshky and the city’s severe conditions, with The Independent foregrounding the expected arrival of humanitarian aid and the ceasefire’s third day. BBC News instead frames the item as a “what we know” explainer and, in its extract, is the only outlet to mention the city lacking electricity, gas and water for three years and residents eating weeds to survive.
