Melania Trump, the U.S. First Lady, is set to meet representatives from Ukraine and Russia at the White House this week, following a ceasefire in southern Ukraine that she reportedly helped secure. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday, will bring together representatives from the two nations engaged in a war since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
The White House did not specify the identities of the representatives. Melania Trump is credited with initiating engagement between the two countries and securing the ceasefire in Oleshky and the surrounding Kherson region in southern Ukraine. She is scheduled to deliver remarks on the ceasefire at the White House at 11 a.m. Thursday.
The ceasefire, which began on October 27, lasted for six days, allowing civilian representatives from both countries to visit residents and assess their humanitarian needs and coordinate transportation for those wishing to evacuate.
