Melania Trump claims localized ceasefire secured in Oleshky, Ukraine

rtl.fr (French) —

Melania Trump has secured a localized ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine, according to the White House, effective October 29. Neither Moscow nor Kiev has yet confirmed the announcement. The truce aims to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery and prepare civilian evacuations via a designated safe passage. The First Lady described the situation as "catastrophic," citing urgent needs for medical care, food, and water among the mostly elderly remaining residents. Oleshky, near the Dnieper River frontline, was captured by Russia in 2022 and suffered severe flooding from the 2023 Kakhovka Dam destruction. Its population has dwindled from about 24,000 to roughly 2,000.
