Russian and Ukrainian officials enter the devastated city of Oleshky
Russian and Ukrainian officials have entered the devastated city of Oleshky following a rare ceasefire brokered by U.S. first lady Melania Trump. The operation, led by Russia’s Yana Lantratova and Ukraine’s Dmytro Lubinets, began after local roads were cleared of mines. Lantratova said residents wishing to leave were boarding buses, while those staying would receive aid. A humanitarian convoy, including 25 buses and ambulances, has assembled in a nearby town.
The mission, also brokered by Trump, aims to reach everyone in need, particularly older people and those with disabilities.
