- The pause did not create an ongoing truce.

## Summary

Melania Trump hosted Russian and Ukrainian officials at the White House to mark a six-day ceasefire she helped arrange in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied Ukrainian city. The pause enabled a humanitarian evacuation, though it has ended and did not establish an ongoing truce.

According to Trump, nearly 800 people were evacuated between 27 October and 1 November. Oleshky has faced shortages of food and medical supplies, and residents lack electricity, heating and running water; the article says around 90 per cent of the city flooded after the Kakhovka Dam collapsed in 2023. Trump’s previous work on the war has included helping reunite 34 Ukrainian children with their families.
