Melania Trump Hosts Historic White House Summit to Celebrate Oleshky Ceasefire
US First Lady Melania Trump hosted a rare joint meeting of Russian and Ukrainian officials at the White House on November 5 to mark a six-day ceasefire in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky. The event, which Trump described as an unprecedented diplomatic initiative, followed the evacuation of nearly 800 civilians and the delivery of humanitarian aid. While both delegations praised Trump’s role, the gathering occurred amid stalled broader peace efforts and a private meeting between President Trump and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The White House framed the event as a breakthrough, though critics questioned whether it normalized Russian aggression. Upcoming trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi are expected to focus on postwar security.
