First Lady Melania Trump has brokered a temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian-controlled city of Oleshky in southern Ukraine, the White House announced Friday. The ceasefire, scheduled to begin October 29, will halt military operations in the city to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and the safe evacuation of civilians. The city’s population has reportedly fallen from approximately 24,000 before the war to just 2,000, with remaining residents facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.
