US First Lady Melania Trump has secured an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to temporarily halt military operations in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, the White House announced on Friday. The intent is to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and evacuate civilians trapped near the front line.
The localised ceasefire is scheduled to begin on 29 October, with both sides agreeing to suspend military action in the southern Ukrainian city and establish a designated safe passage for residents wishing to leave, according to the White House.
