  "summary": "Residents who had been evacuated from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky returned to Ukraine on Saturday. This movement occurred during a localized ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States, which was secured earlier this month by Melania Trump. The halt in fighting went into effect on Tuesday and was scheduled to last through Saturday.\n\nThe living conditions for residents in the occupied area have been dire. One resident reported chopping grass and squash to survive and noted that she risked riding a bicycle through minefields to secure food for herself and her dog, according to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.",
