Zelenskyy Awards Melania Trump Order for Oleshky Ceasefire Role

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has awarded US First Lady Melania Trump a state order for mediating a local ceasefire in the Russian war against Ukraine. The truce was established in the frontline city of Oleshky. Trump received the Order of Princess Olga, First Class, which honors women for outstanding charitable or social contributions. The decree cites her "significant personal contribution to humanitarian support of Ukraine" and charitable activities protecting Ukrainian children. The White House says the humanitarian ceasefire was personally brokered by Melania Trump between Moscow and Kyiv. The evacuation of civilians from Oleshky was completed on Sunday, marking the longest local truce since the war began.
