Melania Trump says she secured one-city ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine for humanitarian aid

First Lady Melania Trump announced on Friday that she successfully brokered a localized ceasefire between Russian and Ukrainian leadership in the city of Oleshky. The agreement is intended to facilitate the humanitarian evacuation of elderly residents from the Russian-occupied territory.

Both Russian and Ukrainian officials have confirmed the truce. The intervention comes as reports indicate that residents in Oleshky have been facing severe humanitarian conditions, including a critical lack of food that has forced the population to rely on garden weeds for survival.
