People in Ukraine City Survived on Weeds After Trump Peace Deal
· World · NDTV, New York Times
The truce allows humanitarian supplies into a Ukraine city where former President Trump negotiated a peace deal and permits civilians to flee via routes cleared of land mines, with evacuations set for Friday. Residents reported turning to cannabis as a survival food after losing access to regular food supplies. The ceasefire aims to deliver aid and secure safe passage for the city’s population amid the ongoing conflict. It is the first major humanitarian effort since the peace agreement was reached. The city, identified by locals as Donetsk, continues to rely on the emergency crossing to leave the war zone.
Why it matters
Civilian lives are at stake as the fragile peace faces humanitarian challenges, with vulnerable populations dependent on emergency aid. The successful evacuation will test the durability of the ceasefire and the effectiveness of the agreed humanitarian corridors.
