Senior Ukrainian negotiator says local humanitarian ceasefire with Russia will start on Oct. 27
- On Friday, Ukrainian and Russian negotiators reached a deal for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, Ukraine, beginning October 27 and lasting several days.
- Once a city of about 24,000 residents, Oleshky sits on the Dnipro River and faces dire shortages of food, heat, and water since Moscow's forces captured it in February 2022.
- U.S. first lady Melania Trump is leading the humanitarian mission to reunite separated children with their families. Marc Beckman, her senior adviser, portrayed the effort as extending her ongoing work helping children affected by Russia's war.
- Gen. Valery Gerasimov, Russia's chief of the general staff, said forces "will cease fire on the Kherson axis" starting at 4 a.m. Tuesday. Troops will conduct "engineering reconnaissance" and ensure "safe movement of the humanitarian convoy" into the city.
- Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets suggested this initiative could model future missions. Trump recently pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the war while reaching separate agreements with Russia to import diesel fuel and waive sanctions.
