Zelensky honors Melania Trump for Ukraine humanitarian work

independent.co.uk —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has awarded U.S. First Lady Melania Trump the Order of Princess Olga, 1st class, citing her "significant personal contribution" to humanitarian support for Ukraine, including work to help Ukrainian children. The November 2 decree recognized her role in organizing a six-day ceasefire that evacuated nearly 800 civilians from the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, the longest local pause in fighting since Russia's 2022 invasion. The White House said she brokered the humanitarian mission. Pope Leo XIV also urged Zelensky and Vladimir Putin to allow aid into Oleshky. Both sides seek U.S. President Donald Trump's approval as he pushes for a peace settlement.
