Families were reunited in the Chernihiv region of northern Ukraine after evacuees from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky crossed from Belarus into Ukraine on Saturday, according to BBC Europe. The report says the evacuees had arrived in buses and ambulances after travelling via Crimea and Russia following their evacuation from the town on Friday.

The BBC's Dan Johnson reported from the reunion site near the Ukrainian border with Belarus.

The report also says a ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump took effect across the frontline region of Kherson on Tuesday. Ceasefire measures will remain in place until the end of Sunday, 1 November.
