Melania Trump urges lasting ceasefire in Ukraine, citing Olechky truce as model

lesoir.be (French) —

US First Lady Melania Trump called Thursday for a "lasting" ceasefire in Ukraine during a White House press conference attended by Russian and Ukrainian representatives. Trump cited the six-day truce she supervised in the occupied Ukrainian city of Olechky as a model, praising Presidents Putin and Zelensky for their cooperation and calling it a significant precedent for regional peace. The ceasefire, which ended Sunday, enabled evacuations from the front-line city in the Kherson region. It was the longest since Russia's February 2022 invasion, with no violations reported by either side.
