Melania Trump to Bring Russian and Ukrainian Representatives to White House This Week
The meeting follows a six-day pause that allowed aid deliveries and nearly 800 evacuations, officials said.
- On Thursday, November 5, 2026, Melania Trump will host an event at The White House to discuss the humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine, with representatives from Ukraine and Russia expected to attend.
- The humanitarian crisis in Russian-occupied Oleshky escalated in mid-2026 as residents faced severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies; Russian forces blockaded the town, preventing aid delivery.
- Melania Trump brokered a localized ceasefire from Oct. 27 until Nov. 1, allowing civilians to evacuate Russian-occupied Oleshky; the first lady called the operation a "success" and noted "nearly 800 people" had been evacuated.
- Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Human Rights Yana Lantratova were expected to attend, but the U.S. sanctioned Lantratova in 2022, requiring a State Department waiver for her entry.
- The Kremlin has publicly ruled out further humanitarian operations in the foreseeable future, suggesting the Oleshky ceasefire will remain an isolated event despite Russia's obligations under international humanitarian law.
