Melania Trump calls for lasting Ukraine truce as she hosts Russian and Ukrainian officials

Melania Trump said the six-day truce let nearly 800 people evacuate and urged Russia and Ukraine to turn the pause into lasting peace.

  • On Thursday, First Lady Melania Trump hosted Russian and Ukrainian officials at the White House to mark the localized ceasefire she brokered in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian village of Oleshky.
  • The six-day truce, in effect from Oct. 27 to Nov. 1, enabled humanitarian aid deliveries into the ravaged area and allowed nearly 800 civilians to evacuate the fighting.
  • Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev thanked Melania for her "distinguished humanitarian role," while Davyd Arakhamia presented the Order of Princess Olga, 1st Class, on behalf of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
  • Renewed trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, are scheduled for next week, positioning the ceasefire as a potential foundation for broader peace discussions.
  • Arakhamia noted the mission turned skepticism into confidence, though broader political negotiations remain difficult even as Trump hopes the suspension of hostilities leads to something enduring.
