Residents have begun leaving the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky through an evacuation corridor opened during a temporary local ceasefire.

Novaya Gazeta to Close Under Kremlin Pressure

Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta announced it is closing, citing pressure from Russian authorities. The outlet, whose co-founder Dmitry Muratov received the Nobel Peace Prize, said the government had orchestrated its demise. Reports noted recent searches of a senior editor's home and the detention of one of its journalists. Novaya Gazeta has been openly critical of Russia's war in Ukraine and was classed as a 'foreign agent' by Moscow.
