Melania Trump brokers six-day Ukraine ceasefire in White House talks

Melania Trump brokered a temporary six-day ceasefire in Ukraine, bringing Russian and Ukrainian delegates together at the White House to allow vital supplies into the Russian-controlled city of Oleshky. The First Lady delivered a message of hope urging both sides to prioritize innocent lives, while Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev praised her humanitarian role and referred to the invasion as a "Ukrainian crisis." She also wrote personal letters to Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. The move marks the first in-person contact between Russian and US officials since the Democrats' midterm election victory. Further talks are planned in Abu Dhabi on November 10, as the war approaches its fifth year.
