US first lady to host Ukrainian, Russian officials at White House
US First Lady Melania Trump is scheduled to welcome representatives from Russia and Ukraine to the White House on Thursday, ahead of peace talks in Abu Dhabi. These talks aim to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has been raging for five years since Moscow's invasion. The meeting comes amid a perceived shift in US-Russia relations, following a recent reconciliation between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russian officials Kirill Dmitriev and Yana Lantratova, as well as Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, are expected to attend the White House gathering.
