On Tuesday morning, a localized ceasefire took effect between Ukraine and Russia, paving the way for a humanitarian mission to the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine. The pause in hostilities began at 3 a.m., allowing for the delivery of aid later in the week. Melania Trump, the U.S. first lady, brokered the truce after meetings with civilian negotiators from both countries and United Nations officials.
The aid operation aims to assist up to 2,000 people stranded in Oleshky due to a lack of food and medicine, exacerbated by explosive mines and drone attacks in the area. The ceasefire is expected to last until Saturday, or potentially longer, given the ongoing mistrust between Russia and Ukraine that has previously impeded effective ceasefire negotiations. Oleshky is situated in the partially occupied Kherson region.
