Melania Trump brokers ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky city
The White House says US First Lady Melania Trump secured a localised ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the town of Oleshky starting October 29.
Humanitarian aid access planned
Both nations agreed to temporarily halt military action to let supplies enter the area. The agreement also prepares a safe passageway for civilians wishing to leave the town.
Population faces severe shortages
Residents report a deepening food crisis and lack of clean water since Russian forces occupied the southern Ukrainian town in February 2022. The remaining population consists primarily of elderly people who urgently need medical attention and medicine.
Evacuation coordination details
Non-military teams from both countries will visit homes to coordinate transportation for those wishing to evacuate. Melania Trump stated that some residents may want to go to Russia while others prefer Ukraine.
