Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova is set to lead Russia's delegation at a Washington meeting involving Melania Trump and Ukrainian officials, contingent upon securing necessary visas, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Peskov stated that Lantratova would spearhead the delegation should she arrive in time for the November 3 meeting.

Ukrainian representatives expected to attend include Davyd Arakhamia and Dmytro Lubinets. In the past, Lantratova and Lubinets collaborated on a humanitarian mission in Oleshky, Kherson region, which resulted in the evacuation of hundreds of civilians. The Russian and Ukrainian leaders reportedly mediated the subsequent ceasefire and truce.

However, those wishing to leave Oleshky for Ukraine are reportedly being transported to Russia first.
