Melania Trump Says She Has Secured Ceasefire in Ukrainian City
Melania Trump said the deal would let aid reach the cut-off city and allow residents to leave through a designated safe passageway.
- First Lady Melania Trump announced Friday she brokered a "localized ceasefire" in Oleshky, Ukraine, to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery and the evacuation of elderly residents from the front-line city.
- Russia has occupied Oleshky since 2022, and the population has dropped from about 24,000 to around 2,000 as residents face severe shortages of food and medicine while caught in the crossfire.
- Melania Trump stated that civilian leaders from both nations will coordinate support for evacuations, with an unnamed "impartial American media organization" accompanying teams on the ground to document the process.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Friday that Russia is coordinating the ceasefire timing, while The General Staff stated it will carry out the orders.
- President Donald Trump praised the initiative Friday, saying "it's not the worst idea I've ever heard," as his administration pursues broader peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
