The office of US first lady Melania Trump announced that she will convene Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House on Thursday and deliver remarks about the temporary ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine’s Kherson region, which she helped negotiate.
The White House credited Melania Trump with independently initiating discussions between the two countries and securing the localized truce, which allowed humanitarian aid to reach civilians and residents to evacuate. The announcement did not specify who will attend the meeting or provide details about the agenda.
