Melania Trump brokers ceasefire for occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky

tagesschau.de (German) —

The White House announced a local ceasefire for the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, mediated by First Lady Melania Trump, to begin October 29 and allow humanitarian aid and civilian evacuation. Ukraine and Russia confirmed the agreement, which aims to create permanent corridors for evacuations and aid deliveries. Oleshky, with no power or water and mined roads, has about 1,700 to 2,000 residents, mostly elderly and 50 children. Pope Leo XIV had urged a ceasefire in mid-October, and Melania Trump previously wrote to Putin about children separated by war. Kyiv and Moscow also plan technical talks in Abu Dhabi in early November.
