Melania Trump says she secured ceasefire in Ukrainian city of Oleshky

Melania Trump announced that she had secured a localized ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky, where residents face shortages of food and medication. Her office said the truce is due to begin on October 29 and would enable humanitarian aid deliveries and evacuations of elderly residents; Moscow and Kyiv had not immediately confirmed it.

Oleshky, on the southern bank of the Dnipro River, has seen its population fall from about 24,000 before the invasion to around 2,000.
