Ukraine’s Zelensky awards Melania Trump state honour
The award - the Order of Princess Olga, 1st class - honours women who have made exceptional contributions in spheres including science, education, culture and charitable work.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented US First Lady Melania Trump with a prestigious state honor, the Order of Princess Olga, 1st class. This award recognizes her significant personal contributions to humanitarian support for Ukraine, as well as her efforts to assist Ukrainian children, including those who were deported or forcibly relocated from Russian-occupied areas.
The Ukrainian officials revealed that Melania Trump played a crucial role in organizing a six-day ceasefire that facilitated the evacuation of civilians from the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky. The ceasefire concluded on Sunday, marking the longest local pause in fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Melania Trump reported that the evacuation successfully rescued nearly 800 people.
