A ceasefire has started in the Russian‑occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, a week after U.S. First Lady Melania Trump announced it. The truce is intended to allow aid deliveries and civilian evacuations. Russia’s defence ministry said it had stopped firing toward Kherson at four a.m. Moscow time in preparation for the humanitarian operation. Oleshky lies on the south bank of the Dnipro River, the front line in the Kherson region. Ukraine’s parliament commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets, confirmed the ceasefire on social media. The city was seized by Russia in February two thousand and twenty‑two. Residents, once numbering twenty‑four thousand, now number around six thousand, including two hundred children. The White House said last week that Melania Trump secured the ceasefire.
