BBC News – World White House says Melania Trump brokered Ukraine city ceasefire
The White House says First Lady Melania Trump brokered a localised ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in Russian-occupied Oleshky, Ukraine, to allow humanitarian aid and civilian evacuations. Ukraine and Russia confirmed the truce, according to the BBC, though an earlier Al Jazeera report noted no confirmation from either side. The agreement is due to take effect on 29 October, Euronews reported. Residents have faced severe food shortages and a worsening humanitarian crisis.
