Melania Trump brokers a localized ceasefire for aid to Russian-occupied Oleshky

Russia and Ukraine agreed to a six-day pause around Oleshky, signed Oct. 23 by the countries’ human rights commissioners, to enable food, water, medicine and medical care for residents and safe passage for those seeking to leave.
After 54 hours, both sides said the ceasefire was holding without reported violations; Russian engineers were clearing mines from roads to prepare for a humanitarian convoy, with aid deliveries expected Friday.
Officials said residents could evacuate to either Russia or Ukraine, though the arrangements were not yet clear; fighting elsewhere in Ukraine continues.
