Melania Trump-Brokered Ukraine-Russia Localised Ceasefire Takes Effect

A localised ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump between Russia and Ukraine took effect beyond Oleshky at 4:00 am Moscow time on Tuesday, two days ahead of schedule.

The early commencement aims to protect civilian safety and facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries, with the geographic area expanding within the Kherson Region to provide safe passage for convoys.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and Ukrainian human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubinets confirmed that the arrangement commenced successfully with no violations documented thus far.
