According to The Hill, Secret Service Police were notified of the item near 17th St. and Pennsylvania Avenue around 2:40 p.m. on October 23, 2026, which resulted in a road closure.\n\nSeparately, the White House announced that First Lady Melania Trump has brokered a localized ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the city of Oleshky. The truce is scheduled to begin on October 29 to allow for humanitarian aid and the evacuation of civilians. The Korea Times reports that Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, described the agreement as involving a ceasefire, the delivery of aid, and the free movement of civilians out of the city.\n\nKahawaTungu reports that the city of Oleshky, located in the Kherson region, was seized by Russian forces during the 2022 invasion and is currently inhabited primarily by elderly residents who face shortages of food, water, and medicine. The White House stated that Melania Trump and a representative worked directly with leadership from both countries to define the terms of the ceasefire.",
