Melania Trump will host representatives from Russia and Ukraine at the White House on November 5 to discuss a localized cease-fire in Ukraine's southern Kherson region. This meeting is part of a new round of US-mediated peace talks scheduled for the following week. The Oleshky cease-fire, which took place from October 27 to November 2, allowed humanitarian aid deliveries and the evacuation of vulnerable civilians.
About 800 people were able to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory after the cease-fire. Ukraine and Russia have conflicting views on the cease-fire's implications for the broader peace process.
