Melania Trump Hosts Ukraine Ceasefire Event Without Mentioning President Trump

thedailybeast.com — November 5, 2026 at 07:01 PM UTC

Melania Trump hosted a White House event Thursday celebrating a temporary ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine, without mentioning her husband, President Donald Trump, despite his unfulfilled promise to end the war. The first lady touted her personal role as an "exclusive intermediary" in the localized deal, which allowed humanitarian aid and evacuated nearly 800 people over six days. She praised Russian and Ukrainian officials, receiving Ukraine's Order of Princess Olga award. Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev credited Putin for the ceasefire while noting Putin "appreciates President Trump's peacemaking effort." Melania sent personal letters to Putin and Zelensky, though no one acknowledged Russia's invasion as the crisis's cause.
