Melania Trump Urges Lasting Ukraine Truce at White House Talks
Melania Trump has called for an 'enduring' truce in Ukraine as rival sides meet at the White House. The meeting is unprecedented and hopes to build on a localised six-day truce in the starvation-hit city of Oleshky, which she announced last month.
Context
The Russia-Ukraine war began in 2022, and Oleshky is a city in Kherson region in southern Ukraine, where the truce was limited to six days. The White House meeting suggests the US is looking to turn that short pause into a longer-lasting deal.
