The administration in Washington announced that Melania Trump successfully mediated a ceasefire agreement regarding a Ukrainian municipality facing severe humanitarian collapse. Officials from both the Russian and Ukrainian governments have verified the cessation of hostilities in the settlement of Oleshky, which remains under Russian military control.
