Melania Trump to Host Russia, Ukraine Representatives at White House

The White House says the event will highlight a ceasefire that let nearly 800 civilians evacuate Russian-occupied Oleshky, 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.
