independent.co.uk —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has awarded US First Lady Melania Trump the Order of Princess Olga, 1st class, for her humanitarian contributions and work on behalf of Ukrainian children. The November 2 decree cited her role in securing a six-day ceasefire in Oleshky, which enabled the evacuation of nearly 800 civilians from the Russian-occupied town. It was the longest local pause in fighting since 2022. Melania Trump will host Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House on Thursday, with the White House calling it an unprecedented diplomatic initiative by a first lady. Pope Leo XIV also urged both leaders to allow aid into Oleshky.
