Melania Trump Hosts Oleshky Ceasefire Officials At White House
First Lady Melania Trump gathered leaders from Russia and Ukraine at the White House Thursday. The occasion is believed to mark the first time in American history that a First Lady has personally brought representatives of two nations actively at war together to the White House for diplomacy.
Melania Trump brought Russian and Ukrainian representatives together at the White House on Nov. 5, according to WWMT, while BBC News reported that she called for a lasting truce. WWMT said Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, thanked Trump and said Putin had directed support for the ceasefire; Weston Mercury reported it was signed on October 23. BBC News described her role in securing the truce as unspecified, and the reports do not detail the terms of a lasting agreement.
