Ukraine honors Melania Trump for brokering ceasefire in Olesky

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Ukrainian President Zelensky awarded US First Lady Melania Trump the highest Ukrainian honor for women, citing her mediation role in establishing a ceasefire in Russian-occupied Olesky. Trump received the top grade of the Order of Princess Olha for her "significant personal contribution" to humanitarian aid and support for Ukrainian children, including those deported from occupied territories. The six-day truce allowed food and medicine deliveries, with nearly 800 people evacuated. The ceasefire was the longest local pause since Russia's 2022 invasion. Both Russian and Ukrainian authorities thanked Trump, with the White House saying she acted as "exclusive mediator." The award comes amid Russian strikes on Kyiv and a deadly attack in Zaporizhzhia that killed 40 people.
