Russia and Ukraine will start a temporary cease-fire in Alezhki in the Kherson region starting today. According to the Ukrainian side, the cease-fire will last until November 1. Aleshki is located on the left bank of the Dnieper River, controlled by the Russian military, across the river from the city of Kherson controlled by the Ukrainian army. There are 1,700 to 2,000 people left behind, including the elderly and children. The humanitarian situation is serious. There is no electricity, heating, or water supply, and roads outside the city are covered with mines. Chen Yu, deputy director of the Eurasian Institute of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, analyzed that Russia and Ukraine have no urgent offensive and defensive pressure in Aleshki, and the costs and risks of arranging a cease-fire are relatively low. The cease-fire itself has positive significance, but its impact on the overall situation in Russia and Ukraine is limited, making it difficult to take advantage of the current impasse. Russia and Ukraine have huge differences on core issues such as territorial ownership and security, and it is difficult to make changes in the short term.
