Zelensky honors Melania Trump for brokering Oleshky ceasefire and aiding Ukrainian children

jpost.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded US First Lady Melania Trump Ukraine's highest honor for women, the Order of Princess Olha, for her humanitarian work, including brokering a ceasefire that enabled civilian evacuations from Russian-occupied Oleshky. Trump helped negotiate a temporary ceasefire allowing humanitarian aid and evacuation of hundreds of residents from Oleshky, a front-line city with about 1,700-2,000 remaining civilians. She also worked to reunite Ukrainian children displaced or transferred to Russia during the war. Russian and Ukrainian officials will meet at the White House on Thursday at Trump's invitation, with further US-mediated peace talks scheduled in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. Ukraine estimates nearly 20,000 children have been illegally transferred to Russia or Belarus since February 2022.
