Localized Ukraine cease-fire brokered by Melania Trump starts as Nordic leaders speak to Putin
The cease-fire encompasses areas beyond Oleshky to facilitate the safe passage of humanitarian convoys. US first lady Melania Trump initiated a local cease-fire in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, Ukraine, ahead of a planned humanitarian mission. The move is seen as a high-stakes operation for Moscow and Kyiv, who are eager to win US President Trump's favor after 4 ½ years of war. The cease-fires began two days earlier than initially planned to protect civilians' safety and aid delivery. Meanwhile, Finland's president and Norway's prime minister spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking their first known direct conversation since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. The talks aim to lay the groundwork for detailed peace negotiations. Food and medical supplies are running low in Oleshhy, where drones and land mines restrict movement for as many as 2,000 people who remain.
