Ukraine's Zelenskyy awards Melania Trump state honour

The award cites her humanitarian role in a six-day ceasefire that helped evacuate nearly 800 civilians from Oleshky, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded First Lady Melania Trump the Order of Princess Olga, 1st class, citing her "significant personal contribution" to humanitarian evacuations from Oleshky.
  • The decree follows Trump's role in organizing a six-day ceasefire in Oleshky that concluded on Sunday, November 1, enabling civilians to safely depart the Russian-occupied front-line town.
  • Nearly 800 people were evacuated, according to Trump, while Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova claimed fewer than 750 residents remained behind; the ceasefire provided access to food, clean water, and medicine.
  • This recognition coincides with broader diplomatic outreach as representatives of Russia and Ukraine will attend a White House event on Thursday to highlight the humanitarian efforts.
  • Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States will meet in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11 for trilateral talks, with President Zelensky hoping discussions will pave the way for leadership-level negotiations.
