Ukraine and Russia agree local ceasefire for aid and evacuation in Oleshky
Ukraine and Russia have agreed to temporarily halt fighting in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky to facilitate humanitarian deliveries and prepare civilian evacuations through a designated safe corridor. The White House says US First Lady Melania Trump brokered the arrangement, although Ukraine and Russia had not publicly confirmed the deal when the announcement was published. The reported start date remains disputed: the White House says October 29, while the Ukrainian and Russian general staffs announced a mode of silence from 03:00 Kyiv time on October 27.
