Melania Trump to host Russian and Ukrainian representatives at White House

First Lady Melania Trump will meet "personally" with Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House, her office announced Tuesday, calling the event "an extraordinary moment in American history." No details were provided on delegation composition or the meeting's agenda, but the First Lady will make a statement Thursday morning. The announcement follows a US-mediated humanitarian ceasefire in Russian-controlled Ukraine's Kherson region. That truce last week allowed evacuations from Oleshky, a town facing severe food and medicine shortages. Broader US-mediated negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow to end nearly five years of conflict are set to resume in the United Arab Emirates next week.
