Following her mediation of a localized truce between Russia and Ukraine, First Lady Melania Trump, the spouse of U.S. President Donald Trump, has invited representatives from both nations to the White House.

The White House announced on the 3rd (local time) that First Lady Melania Trump plans to gather representatives from Russia and Ukraine at the White House on the 5th and deliver a speech regarding the ceasefire in the Oleshky region of Ukraine.

The White House stated, "First Lady Melania Trump independently led dialogue between the two countries to successfully achieve a ceasefire in Oleshky and the neighboring Kherson region," adding, "This achievement will be recorded as an unprecedented diplomatic accomplishment by a U.S. first lady."

Previously, the White House announced on October 23 that, under the auspices of First Lady Melania Trump, Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt combat in the city of Oleshky in Ukraine's southern Kherson Oblast.

This truce involves suspending combat for six days in the Oleshky area and was intended to facilitate the delivery of relief supplies and the evacuation of civilians.

Since last year, First Lady Melania Trump has engaged in humanitarian diplomatic activities, such as mediating the reunification of children separated from their families by the war in Ukraine.

According to the White House, these efforts have resulted in 34 children reuniting with their families as of August of this year.
