Melania Trump-brokered Ukraine ceasefire holds as aid reaches Oleshky

A six-day ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Oleshky, brokered by Melania Trump, is holding as humanitarian aid is expected to arrive Friday, according to Ukrainian officials. The truce, in place since Tuesday, has allowed military units to clear landmines and prepare safe passage for aid convoys. Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets confirmed no violations have been reported, with Russian counterpart Yana Lantratova also verifying the agreement is being honored. The ceasefire aims to deliver food and medical supplies to about 2,000 elderly residents trapped in the Russian-occupied city, which faces a dire humanitarian crisis. The White House credited the First Lady for her intervention, while Pope Leo XIV also pressed for the truce.
