Melania Trump secures Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in Oleshky, the 'Hell on Earth' where people eat garden weeds and even the dead cannot be buried

US First Lady Melania Trump claimed to have broker a local ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the war-ravaged Ukrainian city of Oleshky to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and the evacuation of civilians, the White House announced on Friday.
