Unexpected, but credit where credit is due: NEWSMAX correspondent Shelby Wilder says Russia is using the humanitarian operation in occupied Oleshky for propaganda while tightly controlling what journalists can see

On 31 October 2026, NEWSMAX correspondent Shelby Wilder reported that Russia is utilizing a humanitarian operation in occupied Oleshky for propaganda purposes. Wilder noted that the Russian authorities are tightly controlling what journalists can observe during this operation.

Access to the area is reportedly restricted, and residents who are permitted to speak with the media may be under pressure, according to Wilder's observations. This raises concerns about the authenticity of the narratives being presented from Oleshky, as the situation remains tightly managed by Russian forces.
